Will 2025 Debit Card Upgrades Affect Other Services Like Deposits and Transfers at ATMs?

No, you can still use your debit or ATM card to deposit funds, transfer money, and check balances at participating ATMs in our surcharge-free network. The same fees that have previously applied to these activities will continue to be in effect. Check the ATM locator for features available at specific ATMs.
