This one card will access your CES Credit Union account from any ATM as well as allow merchant or retail purchases to post to your share draft account. This quick, easy purchasing power eliminates the hassle of writing checks at stores. Now just use your MasterCard Check Card instead of writing a check. (Be sure to write the transaction in your checkbook register.)
There is no fee associated with this card unless you use the MasterMoney Check Card in "foreign" ATMs more than four times per month. "Foreign" transactions would include ATM transactions outside the Alliance One and CES Credit Union networks, and also any purchases at stores where you use your PIN.
Retailers may encourage PIN transactions (where you enter your personal code in leiu of a signature, like you were at an ATM). However, it is best to request purchases made with your Check Card to be a "credit" transaction, where a signature enhances your "zero liability" stand. Usually, the point-of-sale purchase terminals (like at most retailers) will ask for a code, but if you press "cancel", it will then ask for a signature.
Over four foreign ATM or PIN-based (non-signature) transactions per month for a card will have a fee of $1 per transaction.

the MasterMoney® Check Card (Debit Card) to our
members. Now you can have easy and instant access
to your share draft (checking) account and worldwide
acceptance without the hassle of timely check
approvals.
Speed
Use your MasterMoney® Check Card when you might
normally write a check, like the grocery store or the
hardware store, or anywhere MasterCard® is accepted.
This card also works for you as an ATM card. You choose
the personalized PIN number to use at any CES Credit

ATM that displays the MasterCard® logo. This card also
may be used in Alliance One ATMs with no surcharge.
Safety
Anytime you use your MasterMoney® Check Card, your
transaction will appear on your monthly statement with
the date and location of the transaction. Purchases
made with this card and authorized with a signature
also protects your liability. This record also appears on
ACCESS Online, our free internet banking service.

your card is lost or stolen, call 1-800-523-4175 anytime.
Please call the Credit Union as soon as possible, as
well.)
A Note on Identity Theft . . .
Protect your card wisely, and only give your card
number to a vendor or merchant you know as reliable
and honest. Never give your PIN to anyone. If you do,
you are allowing that person access to your funds. No
one from any financial institution will ever call asking
for your account number to "protect' or "monitor" your account. Watch your statements closely for
unauthorized transactions.
For safety and security reasons, your card has a
daily limit for purchases and cash withdrawals, and
debit transactions are not covered under our normal
overdraft protection program.
Occasionally, you may receive a phone call to verify
a specific purchase where your card was used. Typically, the called will ask you to confirm a specific purchase for a specific amount, like "Did you purchase tickets on Southwest Airlines today for $345". This
process is to verify a purchase is authentic. Your card
number or account number will NOT be requested.

FAQ
+ How will I get my card?
Simply fill out this application. We do limit availability of the MasterMoney® Check Card to members who have demonstrated an ability to manage their accounts and credit well. If approved, you will receive your card in the mail. Your PIN will arrive in a separate envelope a few days later, for security reasons. Activate the card at the ATM using the instructions sent with the card.
+ How do I use this card at a merchant?
Most merchants accept the MasterMoney® (MasterCard®) card and you simply present the card to the merchant when you are ready to pay. You may need to specify this is a "credit" transaction. Since the merchant runs the card through for "credit" approval to assure funds are available, they view it as a "credit " transaction.
However, the transaction amount is a deduction, or "debit", from your checking account. If you need to swipe the card yourself, specify the transaction as a "credit" transaction and make sure the amount is correct. You will be asked to sign the authorization and keep a copy to record the transaction in your checkbook.
+ Can I use this card in the ATM?
Yes, you can. First you will need to get a Personal Identification Number, or PIN, to access your account, but never give your PIN number to anyone else.
If you use any CES Credit Union or Alliance One ATM, there is no surcharge for any withdrawal. If you use an ATM with the MasterCard® logo, you may have to pay a fee to that ATM owner. CES Credit Union will waive our fee of up to $1.50 for the first four transactions at ATMs outside our credit union.
+ What if I already have an ATM card from
CES Credit Union?
The MasterMoney® Check card is an upgrade from the traditional ATM card because it allows for purchases as well. You can use the card like both an ATM card and a credit card combined, except the transaction amounts are debited or deducted from your available balance in your checking account.
