Visa® Gold Check Card

Do More, Get More, Earn More

The First Commercial Bank, N.A (USA) Visa Gold Check Card gives your checking account the flexibility you need to make your life easier. Shop or access your favorite ATM with just one card. That's convenient.

Use your Visa Gold Check Card to make purchases wherever Visa Check Cards are accepted – currently, in over 25 million merchant locations in 137 countries. Plus, access your funds, day or night, through our more than 100 Money ExpressSM ATMs, as well as a worldwide network of ATMs displaying the PLUS SYSTEM®, ACCEL/Exchange or Visa logo.1

Federal Reserve Overdraft Rules for Check Cards and ATM Cards give check card and ATM card users options regarding overdrafts. All banks, credit unions and other financial institutions must offer you the opportunity to make decisions about overdraft services for transactions made with your check card or ATM card.

Additional Benefits

Like a Check Without the Hassles

  • When you make a merchant purchase with your Visa Gold Check Card, the amount is automatically deducted from your checking account. There's no check to write or check approval to wait for.
  • Your Visa Gold Check Card is a debit card, not a credit card, so you never receive a bill. And unlike a credit card, there are no interest charges (unless you have overdraft protection from a line of credit3).

Money Management Made Easy

  • Whether you access your funds through an ATM or make purchases, all of your Visa Gold Check Card transactions are recorded and provided on your monthly checking statement.
  • You get a complete record of the amount, date, and even the place where your transaction or purchase was made.

More Secure than Cash

  • If your card is lost or stolen, you can get it replaced.
  • You can limit the loss of your money by promptly reporting the loss or theft of your card, or any unauthorized transaction. (Please see Zero Liability under Card Benefits at visa.com.)

Private Information Stays Private

  • Whether you use your Personal Identification Number (PIN) or sign a receipt, the only information provided to the merchant when you make a purchase with your Visa Gold Check Card is an approval of the transaction amount.
  • Your address, telephone number or Social Security Number is not revealed.
