Convenience in a Card

These days convenience is more important than ever, and we're all looking for faster, better ways of doing things. Your checking account can work even harder for you when you add the convenience of a VISA® Check Card. It gives you all the benefits of a credit card and the convenience of a check.

A Visa® Check Card lets you use the money from your checking account without ever writing a check. Use it at restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, or your favorite department store. Here are just a few of the features:

• Safer than cash and welcomed everywhere VISA® cards are accepted both around town and around the world

Do you have additional questions about the VISA® Check Card through American National Bank? Below are some FAQ's to help you learn more.

What is a VISA® check card?
A VISA® Check Card is a convenient way to access your checking account. It has all the benefits of a credit card, but works the same as a check.

Where can I use my VISA® check card?
Use your VISA® Check Card anywhere that VISA® cards are accepted including gas stations, grocery stores, and even your favorite department store.

How do I use my VISA® check card?
Just swipe, select "credit", sign your receipt, and go! If you are asked to enter your PIN number, check with the cashier to see if it is possible to use the "credit" option. If credit is not an option, you may opt to use your PIN instead.

What is the difference between using my PIN number and using my signature?
When you use your VISA® Check Card as a credit card, you will not need to enter your PIN, thus keeping your account and PIN secure. Additionally, using the "credit" option automatically gives you zero liability protection which offers 100% protection against the unauthorized use of your card in the event that it is ever lost or stolen.

What does Zero Liability protect me from?
The Visa® Zero Liability policy protects card users from unauthorized use of their card in the event the card is ever lost or stolen. Zero Liability protects only credit purchases. Therefore, ATM transactions, PIN transactions not processed by VISA®, or certain commercial card transactions will not be covered by the Zero Liability policy.

What if I'm asked to provide my PIN number?
Ask the cashier if you are able to process your VISA® Check Card as a "credit" transaction. If this is not possible, you will need to provide your PIN number.
