Debit Card

A great alternative to using a traditional credit card, with an easy application process.

Do you know the difference between a debit card and a credit card? A debit card uses money that you already have; a credit card uses money that you don’t have.

With the AFSCME Advantage Debit Card you never have to worry about finance charges, late fees, or over-limit fees that come with a credit card. You don’t need a checking or savings account with the prepaid debit card. No more bounced check fees or overdraft fees. You can only spend the money you have placed on your card, so you will never fall into debt. And it’s perfect for your college-bound children.

Service You Can Count On

AFSCME Advantage has partnered with American Union Provider Services to offer the best debit card in the country, with lower fees than other debit cards. With direct deposit, your monthly maintenance fee is waived. There is a dedicated toll-free customer service number for AFSCME members only that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
