Fire Debit Card
Unquestionable support
Live your appreciation of the local NC Fire Service.
Spend to support essential Fire Service
The Civic Bonus Checking Account maximizes your impact for others and simplifies your finances. And our optional Fire debit card gives you an additional and separate way to help Civic give funding to the NC State Firefighters' Association (NCSFA).
The Bonus Checking Account provides all the financial wellness tools you need with our app and online banking. And you can earn higher dividends1 on your Bonus Checking average daily balance by making 20 debit card purchases in one month.
As an additional option, when you select to add the Fire debit card to your account, you help Civic donate funds to help support critical NCSFA programs. Each time you use the Fire debit card, Civic donates 50% of its share of net merchant fees directly to programs sponsored by NCSFA. That means you help Civic donate funds that help pay for firefighter training, health insurance, disability income, and more.
Here are a few frequently asked questions:
Disclaimer
1 APY = Annual Percentage Yield. Applies to member accounts incurring 20 debit card purchases per month, excluding ATM withdrawals and automatic account drafts. Purchases and/or transactions may take up to two business days from transaction date to post to the account. Upon qualifying, APY of 0.50% will be applied to your average daily account balance during the following month up to $10,000. Balances in excess of $10,000 will earn APY of 0.15%. Minimum opening deposit for the Civic Bonus Checking Account is $5. For members making less than 20 qualified purchases per month, APY is 0.15%. Rate is subject to change.
2 Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the payer’s submission of deposits. We generally post such deposits on the day they are received, which may be up to three days earlier than the payer’s scheduled payment date.
3 Civic participates in select surcharge-free ATM networks. You can find the current list of surcharge-free ATM locations at civicfcu.org/any-atm. Other ATM networks may charge an ATM fee that Civic will reimburse, up to a total of $20 per month, beginning on the first day of the month and ending on the last day. If you are eligible for an ATM fee reimbursement, funds are typically released by Civic to your account within two (2) business days, but timing may vary.
