P1FCU Debit Mastercard: A Debit Card for Everyday Spending

Your P1FCU Debit Mastercard connects directly to your checking account, giving you access to available funds for everyday purchases. Use your card in stores, online, by phone, or anywhere Debit Mastercard is accepted, with convenient security and card-management features available through P1FCU.

How Your P1FCU Debit Mastercard Works

A debit card gives you direct access to the available funds in your checking account. When you make an eligible purchase with your P1FCU Debit Mastercard, the transaction is deducted from your checking account balance rather than added to a revolving line of credit.
 

Use your card for purchases:

  • At stores and other point-of-sale locations.

  • Online.

  • By phone.

  • Anywhere Debit Mastercard is accepted.

 

Manage Your Debit Card With Card Controls

Manage important debit-card settings through Card Controls in P1FCU Digital Banking. Use the available controls to activate a card, manage your PIN, block a card when necessary, or request a replacement.

Identity Theft Protection
P1FCU partners with Mastercard to provide Identity Theft Protection for all members who have a debit card and sign up through Mastercard Identity Theft Protection.

Cell Phone Protection
P1FCU partners with Mastercard to provide Cell Phone Protection when an eligible phone bill is paid with the Debit Mastercard. To learn more about Cell Phone Protection and other Mastercard benefits, please click below.
