ANSAC Current Account Visa Migration

FAO: Our Current Account Holders,

Dear Current Account holders, 

As part of our commitment to enhancing your banking experience, we are transitioning our current account debit cards from Mastercard to Visa. All current account holders will receive a new Visa Debit card soon. The new look current account debit card is powered by Visa and comes with trusted benefits and enhanced features. The card will be issued to all existing and new credit union current account members.

The benefits of visa debit

Your new debit card has printed card details such as the long card number, expiry date and CVV instead of embossed details to improve clarity.

• Visa Debit is accepted at millions of locations around the world, bringing you a seamless, secure and convenient payment experience wherever  you go. The new look Visa Debit card includes modern design features to  further enhance card usability and accessibility.
• All your personal details are now in one place on the back of the card, making it easier to read.
• We have changed to a portrait card design that reflects the way you use your card, slotting into chip readers and ATMs.
• An accessibility notch at the end of the card making it easier for visually impaired to insert it correctly into chip readers and ATMs
• Visa Secure makes it even safer for you to shop online. Visa has developed a program that helps confirm your identity when you make an online purchase. It’s a free service that protects your debit card against unauthorised use online.
• Use Apple Pay, Google Pay or Google Wallet for a safer way to make contactless payments.
