Debit Card
Some people prefer to use their debit card for everyday transactions; others choose to use their debit cards and checks. The choice is up to you.
Debit cards look just like credit cards, but are different in a handful of important ways. The main difference is that a debit card is linked directly to your checking account instead of a line of credit. Many people find this important distinction a benefit since it helps you budget and avoid overspending. Farmers Bank offers debit cards that can be used at ATMs and millions of locations worldwide that accept Visa® Debit.
All of our checking accounts include a free Visa® Debit Card, if you meet the qualifications, and there’s no monthly service fee. You get benefits and convenience with your Farmers Bank Instant Issue Debit Card.
Just ask one of our friendly Customer Service Representatives. We’ll take care of the rest.
No. You do not receive a bill and do not have the ability to pay over a period of time. The funds MUST be in your account to make a purchase using your Farmers Bank Debit Card. Please note that a Farmers Bank Visa® Debit Card should not be used to “balance” your checkbook or used to find out when you have a zero balance. If you choose to opt-in, you can access your overdraft protection by using your Debit Card at an ATM or merchant.

Most retailers and service providers will allow you to use your card as a Point of Sale (POS) signature-based transaction or as a Personal Identification Number (PIN) based transaction. Some banks will charge you per POS transaction. Farmers Bank does NOT have a per-item POS transaction charge.
