Prevail Bank Debit Cards
Each of our checking accounts comes with a MasterCard® debit card to allow you to make quick purchases online and in person. Funds are debited directly from your Prevail Bank account.

If you prefer to carry cash, your debit card can be used at ATMs. If you use an ATM that's part of the ATM ACCESS network or MoneyPass® ATMs, you can make withdrawals without paying a surcharge.
ATM ACCESS is a statewide alliance of community banks that have joined together to offer fee-free ATM access across Wisconsin. Look for the logo below on the side of the machine to ensure it is an ATM ACCESS machine.

Saving Makes Cents - Earn While Spending
Save money while spending money. It just makes sense! With our Saving Makes Cents program, customers with a Prevail Bank Checking account, Savings account, and debit card can save money while making regular purchases. This program rounds up your purchase to the next whole dollar, and transfers the change to your Savings account.
Let’s say you purchase groceries at the local supermarket for $42.78. The Saving Makes Cents program will round that total to $43.00 in your Checking account; with $42.78 going to the supermarket, and the rounded-up $0.22 will be transferred into your Savings account. This makes the savings easy and automatic.
Signing up is easy! To get started, simply visit one of our locations, or give us a call. We will work with you to have the necessary documents completed, and then you can watch the savings begin!
| Item Purchased with Prevail Bank Debit Card | Price | Rounded Up | Transferred to Savings Account |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coffee | $2.45 | $3.00 | $0.55 |
| Gas | $31.27 | $32.00 | $0.73 |
| Groceries | $42.78 | $43.00 | $0.22 |
Note: Based on the above chart, total savings transferred into Savings at the end of the business day would amount to $1.50.
In order to participate in the Program, you must have three products: (1) Prevail Bank personal Checking Account (Money Market Accounts are ineligible), (2) Prevail Bank Debit MasterCard, (3) Prevail Bank personal Savings Account.
Each time you use your Prevail Debit MasterCard to make a point of sale purchase, Prevail will automatically round up your purchase to the nearest whole dollar amount and transfer the amount in excess of your purchase price from your checking account into your savings account. We will add together all the change from the aggregate of purchases that post to your checking account each business day and make a single transfer at the end of the business day. At the time of the transfer, if your checking account does not have a sufficient available balance to pay the transaction or the transfer, then no transfer will occur for that day.
Debit MasterCard transactions such as ATM withdrawals, checks, wires, deposits and transfers are not transactions that are eligible for the program. Not available on Business Accounts, Individual Retirement Accounts or Health Savings Accounts.
