If I select “credit” and use my SuperCheck debit card like a Visa card, will I receive a bill in the mail?
No. Whether you use it like an ATM card or a Visa® card, the money will ALWAYS be deducted automatically from your checking account. Items will appear on your monthly checking statement.

What’s the difference between the “debit” and the “credit” options?

  • Choose the "credit" option on the merchant's keypad and your purchase is processed through the Visa® network. The amount still comes out of your checking account, but you don't have to enter your PIN.
  • Select the "debit" or "ATM" option on the merchant's keypad and you’ll be prompted for your PIN. The transaction is processed through the ATM network and the amount will be immediately deducted from your checking account. Use this option to get cash back with your purchase.

When are SuperCheck transactions deducted from my account?
Debit and ATM transactions, those for which you use your PIN, take effect immediately. Transactions processed through Visa®, those for which you sign a receipt, may take a day to be deducted from your account. Either type of transaction will be itemized on your monthly checking statement with the name or address of the merchant or transaction. Be sure you have adequate funds in your account before you use your card.

Will I be charged a fee when I use my SuperCheck card for purchases?
There are never fees when you use your card as a Visa® "credit" transaction. There are usually no fees when you use your card as an "ATM" or "debit" transaction. However, some merchants, such as gas stations, may transmit a balance inquiry when you use your card as an "ATM" or "debit" transaction, and a balance inquiry fee may result. To avoid that fee, always select "credit."

Can I choose my own SuperCheck PIN?
Yes, you can change your PIN at Virginia Credit Union ATMs. Access the ATM using your current card and PIN, choose “More Selections” on the ATM screen and follow the prompts to select your new PIN.

If you have changed your PIN and want to use your card at ATMs outside the United States, please contact our ATM/Debit Card Department for special instructions before traveling.

What if my SuperCheck is lost or stolen?
Call Cardholder Services toll-free 24-hours a day at
(800) 449-7728. The Electronic Funds Transfer Disclosure you received with your card has complete details. Safeguard your PIN. Don't keep it in your wallet, checkbook, or anywhere else near your SuperCheck card.

If there is an error on a SuperCheck transaction, how do I report it?
Complete an affidavit of fraudulent use of an ATM/Debit card. Contact us to request it by mail or pick one up at any branch and return it to us for processing. It may also be possible to correct the error by contacting the merchant directly.
