How can I avoid paying fees when using my debit card?

Use your debit card where Mastercard® debit cards are accepted—in stores, online or by phone. There is no fee for a purchase with the card.

Avoid using the card to withdraw cash at an out-of-network ATM—one that is not from Allpoint or MoneyPass®. If you withdraw cash at any out-of-network ATM, you will be charged a fee of one dollar and thirty-five cents ($1.35) per transaction. Out-of-network ATMs may impose an additional "convenience fee" or "surcharge fee" for certain ATM transactions (a sign should be posted at the ATM to indicate additional fees).

To get cash back with a purchase at grocery stores, convenience stores or anywhere the Mastercard brand logo is displayed, choose "debit" when making your purchase and enter your PIN. Select the amount of cash back you would like and this amount will be added to your purchase.

There is no fee for a cash withdrawal at any financial institution that displays the Mastercard brand logo in the continental United States.
