Debit Card FAQ

My Debit Card is Expiring in February 2025 - What Should I Do?

You should receive your new card in early January 2025. To ensure a smooth transition, please activate it using the phone number on the sticker attached to your card before January 30. If you miss this deadline, no problem—just give us a call at 216-621-4644, and we’ll assist you with manual activation.

How do ATM Fees Work?

ATM withdrawals are subject to 2 different fees – a transaction fee charged by FFCCU, and a surcharge from the ATM servicer. ATMs in one of our surcharge-free networks will not apply this servicer charge.

How Can I Find Surcharge-Free ATMs?

You can use the ATM locator tool available on our website or in our mobile app to find surcharge-free ATMs near you.

Will My PIN or Card Number Change in 2025?

No. Your card number and PIN will remain the same unless your card is replaced due to other issues. Your PIN and card number will not change when your card expires.

What Should I Do If I was Charged a Fee at a Surcharge-Free ATM?

If you believe you were charged a surcharge fee in error at a surcharge-free ATM, please contact us at 216.621.4644 or message us in the mobile banking app.

Will 2025 Debit Card Upgrades Affect Other Services Like Deposits and Transfers at ATMs?

No, you can still use your debit or ATM card to deposit funds, transfer money, and check balances at participating ATMs in our surcharge-free network. The same fees that have previously applied to these activities will continue to be in effect. Check the ATM locator for features available at specific ATMs.

How Many Surcharge-Free ATMs are Available?

Our partnership with the CO-OP, Alliance One, Culiance, and MoneyPass networks ensures you will still have access to over 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide.
