A Safer Way to Pay
Enjoy peace of mind on everyday payments with EMV Chip Debit Cards
Beginning December 28th, we will reissue all of our VISA debit cards and you will receive a new EMV Chip VISA
debit card. Please activate your new chip card as soon as possible. Once your new card is activated, your old
card is no longer valid and should be destroyed. What’s an EMV Chip card?
Your new chip card will work hard to protect you. When making a payment at a chip enabled
terminal, your card creates a unique code for each transaction. This helps reduce the risk of
fraudulent charges on your account and it reduces in-store fraud.
NEW! Choose your own PIN
You now have the option to select your own PIN (Personal Identification Number).
1) Call 1.866.762.0558 from your primary phone. (Don’t try to use your cell if you have your land-line phone
listed as your primary number).
2) You will be instructed to enter your card number and the last four digits of the primary account holder’s
Social Security Number. You then enter the PIN that you would like.
The PIN changes immediately for any ATM transaction and most point of sale transactions. What if your favorite store isn’t quite ready for this technology?
No problem. Your card can still be swiped using the magnetic strip.
Small Chip. Big Benefits.
With increased security, convenience and global acceptance, this little
chip provides peace of mind on your everyday payments.
Be on the lookout for your new Golden Plains’ VISA debit card towards
the end of December or early January.
If you have any questions about your new card, please contact us
at 1.866.664.9364.

Nuevas tarjetas de
débito Visa con chip EMV
Disfrute de la comodidad de sus pagos diarios
A partir del 28 de diciembre, reenviaremos todas nuestras tarjetas de débito
VISA y recibirá una nueva tarjeta de débito VISA con chip EMV. Por favor, active
su nueva tarjeta de chip tan pronto como sea posible. Una vez activada su nueva
tarjeta, su tarjeta antigua ya no es válida y debe ser destruida.
¿Qué es una tarjeta EMV Chip?
Su nueva tarjeta de chip trabajará duro para protegerlo. Al realizar un pago en un
terminal habilitado para chip, su tarjeta crea un código único para cada transacción.
Esto ayuda a reducir el riesgo de cargos fraudulentos en su cuenta y reduce el
fraude en la tienda.

Ahora tiene la opción de seleccionar su propio NIP (número de identificación personal).
1) Llame al 1.866.762.0558 desde su teléfono principal. (No trate de usar su

2) Se le indicará que ingrese su número de tarjeta y los últimos cuatro dígitos
del número de Seguro Social del titular de la cuenta principal. A continuación,
