The Benchmark Visa® Debit Card for Individuals

It can be used in many ways.

The Benchmark Visa Debit Card makes accessing your checking account easy! When you use it to make purchases, the deduction comes right out of your account. You can choose two types of transactions, PIN-based or signature-based. You can also use it online.

The Visa debit card also doubles as your ATM card. Use it to withdraw funds from your checking or savings account, even transfer funds between accounts. Withdrawals are always free at Benchmark ATMs. You will be charged fees at other ATM locations.

It's safe to use!

As with all of your finances, you should guard your Visa debit card but it is safer than carrying cash. Visa's Zero Liability policy helps protect you from unauthorized use of your card or account information.

To help you rest easy that your money is being protected, Benchmark has implemented a new system to prevent fraudulent use of your debit card and that will allow you to control when and how your debit card is used. Learn more about SecurLOCK here.
