Supporting NC Association of Rescue and EMS
This special debit card helps give back to the lifesaving professionals of rescue and EMS in North Carolina.
How does it work?
Merchant fees are generated when you use your NCAR&EMS debit card for purchases, and we donate half of the net share of those fees to the NC Association of Rescue & EMS — at no cost to you. It all adds up to support for education, training, health, and more benefits for this critical profession, right in our North Carolina hometowns.
