Visa Debit Card You may use your Card to purchase goods and services from participating merchants. If you wish to pay for goods or services over the Internet, you may be required to provide card number security information before you will be permitted to complete the transaction. You agree that you will not use your Card for any transaction that is illegal under applicable federal, state, or local law. Funds to cover your Card purchases will be deducted from your checking account. If the balance in your account is not sufficient to pay the transaction amount, the Credit Union may pay the amount and treat the transaction as a request to transfer funds from other deposit accounts, approved overdraft protection accounts or loan accounts that you have established with the Credit Union. If you initiate a transaction that overdraws your Account, you agree to make immediate payment of any overdrafts together with any service charges to the Credit Union. In the event of repeated overdrafts, the Credit Union may terminate all services under this Agreement.

Credit Cards About 60% of first-year students reported they have at least one credit card, although just 15% have two or more cards. Among those students who have credit cards, about 88% reported they pay off their balance each month and, as such, their current credit card balance is zero; however, when asked what their current credit card balance is, just 7% said it is zero. Among those with an unpaid balance, the average credit card debt students have is $1,549. Group 1 students tend to carry a higher balance on their credit cards than Group 2 and Group 3 students.
