Debit Cards
Shop online or at any point of sale merchant that accepts Visa®, with the convenience of a 1st Capital Bank, a division of Santa Cruz County Bank, debit card, and the funds will be debited directly from your account. Need cash? We have partnered with the Allpoint ATM network in convenient locations that include Target®, CVS Pharmacy®, Costco®, Walgreens®, Safeway® and 7-Eleven®.
Enhanced Security for your Debit Card
1st Capital Bank, a division of Santa Cruz County Bank, debit cards have contactless chip technology. The embedded computer chip provides more security and wider international acceptance. A microchip embedded in the card adds a layer of protection against fraud for purchases made at the point of sale. Information programmed into the chip is personalized for your account and each transaction generates a unique code, adding an extra safeguard against unauthorized use and counterfeiting. These cards are already in wide use around the world and are now becoming the standard in the U.S.
