Security in Payments

Our debit chip enabled (EMV) cards feature an embedded chip that improves security with each purchase at chip-enabled terminal. This brings you enhanced fraud protection by creating a unique code for each chip transaction, preventing card data from being fraudulently used.

Contactless Card

A simple and secure tap is all it takes to pay for the things you need. VISA® contactless payments make it secure, convenient and touch-free. Contactless payments are transactions made by tapping either a contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile or wearable device over a contactless-enabled payment terminal (inidcated by a wave-like symbol). Cards, phones, watches and other devices use the same contactless technology. When you tap to pay checkout is secure, convenient and touch-free.

VISA® Account Updater (VAU)

 

All First United debit cards also feature VISA Account Updater (VAU). VAU is an account updating service where your card is automatically enrolled at no cost to you. When your card expires or is lost or stolen and a new card is issued and the service will update relevant card data (card numbers and expiration dates) to participating merchants to avoid uninterrupted processing of your charges.

This service provides updates to a VISA database only. The database is accessed by qualified merchants seeking your account information after you have requested they process payments. If at anytime you wish to opt-out of the VAU service or if you have any questions, please contact our Customer Service Center at 1-888-692-2654.
