The ins and outs of your new Debit Mastercard®

Your new Debit Mastercard is on the way

We’re switching to Debit Mastercard and all our customers will soon receive a shiny new replacement debit card. Nothing is changing with your account, and your card will work in just the same way. 

Now and then we rethink our relationships to keep things fresh for you and us. We’ve decided to move to Mastercard as it allows us to offer a better overall service to our customers. We'll be launching the new cards this year and will let you know closer to the time when you can expect to receive yours through your letterbox.

Your old Visa card will stop working soon so take a look at how to get your new Debit Mastercard card up and running. We won't contact you to request any personal details, so any requests you get could be a scam. We've gathered some information below so you can help protect yourself from fraud and scams.

A brand new look

We've been working on new debit card designs to mark our transition from Visa to Debit Mastercard. Bold, modern and vertical - we wanted to create a card that stands out from the crowd and is designed for the way they’re used. All the usual card info is now on the back.

At Ednites Credit Union, we want to help you do what you want to do sooner, and hope our freshly designed debit cards help you get there – because tomorrow begins today.

Will my card be accepted everywhere?

Your Debit Mastercard will be accepted almost anywhere that accepts card payments, either in store or online.

It's not just limited to the UK. Your Debit Mastercard is welcomed all over the world in all sorts of places. Use it in a tiny café in Paris or to book a scuba dive off the coast of Hawaii.

Remember that there could be some costs when shopping or withdrawing money while using your debit card abroad.

 You can also use your contactless card abroad like you can in the UK. Just look for the contactless symbol. Limits can vary when you’re abroad.

... AND it's better for the environment

Our new cards will be made from 86% recycled plastic. With a reduction of 7g CO2 per card, we’ll save about 23 tonnes of plastic (normally destined for industrial waste) and 50 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year. And that’s not all, as we’re aiming to make all our operations climate positive by 2025.
