Account Basics
MemberCard Limits
ATM Withdrawal Limit | $1,000 |
Point of Sale Withdrawal Limit | $3,000 |
Daily Deposit Limit | $200,000 |
Tap
1st Choice Savings debit cards have a $200 cap before a pin is required. Please note that individual merchant terminals may impose a limit that is less (for example, a merchant may impost a $100 limit for tap).
Regardless of the transaction amounts, once a cumulative limit of $200.00 is reached, the member must enter their PIN. For example,
-
$100.00 (can tap)
-
$75.00 (can tap)
-
$50.00 (must enter PIN)
Apple Pay
Apple Pay is a mobile payment service that stores card information in a digital wallet on a mobile device so that users don't have to carry physical cards.
-
Apple Pay does not have specific limits; they are driven by the card limits and by limits on the merchant terminal.
-
Each time Apple Pay is used, the user is authorizing the transaction through either password or biometric methods, so these transactions aren’t subject to the same limits as "tap."
