​Our MEMBER CARD® Debit Card allows immediate, easy access to your accounts via ATM or at point-of-sale terminals. It includes contactless Interac Flash technology.

How to pay using Interac Flash
At any terminal that accepts Interac Flash, simply follow these steps:

  1. Hold your card no more than 4 cm in front of the terminal
  2. A beep and/or approved message will indicate your transaction is done
  3. The purchase amount will be deducted automatically from your everyday bank account 

Note: For security purposes, we’ve set spending limits for your Interac Flash transactions:

  • A single transaction can’t exceed $250
  • There is a $400 cumulative daily spending limit

When you reach one of these limits, you’ll be prompted to insert your debit card and enter your PIN. This is an added layer of protection that confirms you are the legitimate cardholder. Insert your card, enter your PIN, and your Interac Flash limits are reset.
