Mountain America Credit Union Introduces More-Versatile Debit Card

WEST JORDAN, UT--(Marketwired - May 16, 2013) - Mountain America Credit Union has introduced a new type of debit card that provides the benefits of a prepaid card without monthly maintenance, deposit or other fees. Called MyExpress Debit, the Visa debit card allows members to deposit and spend only what they need, protecting them from overdraft or interest charges because they can spend only what they deposit.

"The MyExpress Debit card is a great low-cost way to pay children's allowance and teach them how to handle their money," said Dennis Bromley, senior vice president of member development and engagement for Mountain America. "Or members can use it as a travel card or for online purchases, minimizing risk if the card or number is lost or stolen. MyExpress was designed to be extremely versatile, giving our members another tool to help them and their families wisely and safely manage their money."

With no activation, maintenance, deposit or overdraft fees, MyExpress Debit allows members to add funds anytime via Mountain America's Online Branch and Mobile Banking app. Multiple cards can be tied to a single account, and they can be used wherever Visa debit cards are accepted, including at nearly 30,000 surcharge-free ATMs nationwide.
