Your new CONTACTLESS Debit Card is on the Way!
Beginning November 1st, we are mailing our NEW Progressive Bank Contactless Debit Cards to our current cardholders.
November 2022 -- The Contactless card will enable you to 'Tap and Go' at all checkout card readers, or ATMs, that display the Contactless Symbol. For merchants that are not yet set up to accept Contactless transactions, you will still be able to insert your Contactless card at an EMV checkout terminal, or swipe your card at the magnetic strip terminal.
WHY NOW? We usually wait to send new Debit Cards to our customers until their current cards are about to reach their Expiration Dates; however, with the holiday season fast approaching, we want you to be able to take advantage of the ease of use and security Contactless technology offers as you make your holiday purchases.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER -- Account Numbers, PINs, and More
• With your new card, your CARD ACCOUNT NUMBER and your PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN) HAVE NOT CHANGED! However, your CVV 3-digit Security Code and your Card Expiration Date HAVE CHANGED. Please keep this in mind for any automated recurring payments for which you currently use your debit card as these accounts may need to be updated.
• If you have your current debit card set up as the default for in-app purchases (such as with Amazon, Wayfair, etc.), you may need to update your Security Code and Expiration Date in those apps as well.
• For added security, please note that your new card will be arriving in a plain envelope with no obvious signs that it is from Progressive Bank.
• Be sure to ACTIVATE your card, using the phone number on the card sticker. This lets us know that you are ready to begin using your card for purchases and ATM transactions. Once you have activated your new card, you can destroy your old card.
