   ✔️ Work & school supplies

Debit Cards 101

Your PIN is the super secret 4-digit code you’ll enter when using your card. You create it when setting up your debit card.

Overdraft happens when you spend more than what’s in your checking account, and money gets pulled from your savings account to cover it. If your savings can’t cover it, the transaction gets denied.

Yep! Just make sure you know your PIN.
