VISA® Debit Card
A remarkably versatile card that lets you use the funds in your Bay Federal checking account, even at places that don't normally take personal or out–of–town checks. It looks just like a credit card, but it's not. Instead, it automatically deducts purchases from your checking account. No credit is advanced, so there are no interest charges.
You can use your VISA® Debit Card at millions of locations worldwide — anywhere that accepts VISA® Debit. It also gives you access to your account at thousands of ATMs worldwide.
