Debit, ATM, and Credit Cards
Will I receive a new debit card, or can I continue to use my current debit card after the upgrade?
All current debit cardholders should have received their new debit card in early March arriving in an unmarked envelope for security purposes. Activation instructions (customers should begin activating new cards on March 20) were included in the mailing.
- New debit cards have new card numbers, expiration dates, and security codes.
- At the time of activation, you will also set your Personal Identification Number (PIN).
- If you happen to notice an error on your new debit card, we can make corrections to it.
- If you have not received a new debit card in the mail, please let us know so we can issue you a new card.
Will my new debit card have the same card number?
In addition to a refreshed design, all newly issued debit cards will include a new debit card number, security code, and expiration date.
You’ll need to update your new debit card information with any merchants that have your card on file. If you use PremierBank’s current mobile banking app, you can log in and navigate to Cards > Card on File to view a list of merchants storing your card for one-time, recurring, or future purchases.
How will I establish a PIN for my new debit card?
All debit cardholders received their new debit cards in the mail during March. Call 877-965-3344 to activate and start using your new contactless debit card. Follow the prompts to set your Personal Identification Number (PIN). Each new contactless debit card has a new card number, expiration date, and security code.
Will I still be able to use any ATM in the MoneyPass® Network?
Yes, PremierBank debit cardholders can use any ATM in the national MoneyPass® network to withdraw cash surcharge-free. Click HERE to visit the MoneyPass ATM locator.
Why do I get an error when I link my debit card to my mobile wallet?
You may experience an error when trying to add your debit card to your mobile wallet, such as Google Pay or Apply Pay. However, this is only temporary, and it will link. Please allow up to 24 hours for it to connect.
Will I receive an ATM-only card?
If you have an ATM-only card (separate from a debit card), you will receive a contactless PremierBank debit card in March. This new debit card functions the same as your current ATM-only card, with the same transaction limitations at ATMs. This debit card does not have any Point of Sale (POS) capability; in-store, or online purchase ability. After the upgrade, we will not offer an ATM-only card. The only option will be to have the debit card with ATM limitations.
Will I receive a new credit card?
No, there will no changes to PremierBank’s personal or business credit cards.
Bill Pay
Will I have to set up all of my payors in Bill Pay?
All bill pay information will be transferred to the new system with the exception of eBills* which will need to be re-entered.
* An eBill (electronic bill) in online banking is a digital version of a paper bill that you can receive and pay through our online or mobile banking platform. Instead of mailing a physical bill, some payees offer the option to send it electronically directly to your online banking account. An eBill contains the same details as a paper bill but provides a more convenient and secure way to manage your payments.
Transfers and Loan Payments
Will my established loan payments continue after the System Upgrade?
Yes, your loan payments will be processed as normal after the upgrade according to how you have them set up currently.
Zelle® and Third Party Financial Apps
Will you continue to offer Zelle® Peer-to-Peer (P2P) payment services?
Zelle® will be available until March 13, after which we will transition to a new peer-to-peer (P2P) payment platform. Beginning March 24, Social Payment Instant Network (SPIN), a secure and convenient P2P payment option will be available in our mobile banking app. With SPIN, easily send money directly from your PremierBank checking account to friends, family, and trusted contacts who have a Visa or Mastercard debit card.
Will my connection to common third-party financial apps be impacted?
During this transition, your bank account could temporarily disconnect from third-party financial apps, such as Venmo and Robinhood. Plaid, a secure service that connects apps to U.S. bank accounts through a verification process, may experience delays reconnecting to our bank. This will affect how quickly you can relink your financial apps. We recommend manually verifying your account during this transition time.
Statements
How will I receive my bank statement after the upgrade?
Following the upgrade, statements will feature a refreshed design, but all essential information will remain unchanged.
Consider eStatements – Enrolling in eStatements through online banking gives you quicker access, better security, and reduced paper waste. Enrollment instructions will be available in March.
Will my statement cycle change?
Yes, some customer statement cycle dates will change after the upgrade. If your delivery date differs from what it is currently, there’s no need for concern—it’s simply part of the system enhancement.
Please note that all demand deposit and savings account customers will receive an additional printed statement by mail, reflecting account activity and balances through March 20. This additional statement, generated before the upgrade will be sent out on March 21, via the U.S. Postal Service to the mailing address currently on file.
Miscellaneous Questions
Will I be able to use my current checks?
Yes, you will be able to continue to use your current checks because the routing number will not change.
