Debit Card Daily Limits (24-hour period)
Debit Card Daily Limits
(24-hour period)
These limits can be temporarily raised, just give us a call. Let us know the date range, type of raise (ATM withdrawal or Point of Sale), and the total needed to get all your expected transactions through. We can also lower daily limits.
Average 24-hour Point of Sale (POS) transaction total:
Ex: grocery store + online shopping = total
$800 adults
$400 minors
Average 24-hour ATM withdrawal total on Debit Card:
$400 adults
$200 minors
PLEASE BE ADVISED: Each ATM also has its own maximum dispense amount per transaction and daily maximum transactions per card number. If you are trying to get a large amount of cash out of an ATM, you may not be able to get the full amount out of one ATM in a single withdrawal even when we place a temporary ATM withdrawal limit raise; you may have to withdraw from several ATMs or over several days at the same ATM.
Debit Card Travel Notices
When you plan to travel outside of WISCONSIN, MINNESOTA, NORTH or SOUTH DAKOTA, please give us a call with the dates you are traveling and what states you will be in or traveling through. If you forget to give us a travel notice, your card may be blocked assuming transactions outside this region are being fraudulently attempted; if our fraud center flags a suspicious transaction, they will reach out to you to confirm or deny the transaction.
FORGOT TO GIVE A TRAVEL NOTICE? If you arrive at your destination outside of our business hours and need to use your card, please have the merchant run your debit card through as a debit transaction requiring you to enter your PIN; this will verify it is you using your card and not someone fraudulently using your card.
