Yes.

You can use your new chip card anywhere Visa is accepted. You simply insert the card into card terminals that are chip-enabled or swipe your card at merchant locations that have not yet switched to chip-enabled card terminals. You can also continue to use your card as you did before for online payments and telephone payments.

No. Chip card technology provides an additional layer of security when used at a chip-enabled terminal. The technology may help reduce certain types of fraud resulting from data breaches; however, it will not prevent a data breach.

Chip cards contain an embedded microchip, which provides enhanced security by making it extremely difficult to counterfeit or copy when making transactions at a chip-enabled terminal. Your chip card will also have the usual magnetic stripe on the back so that you can continue to swipe your debit card or credit card while merchants are transitioning to new chip card terminals. Chip technology is also more broadly accepted internationally.

If you have recurring payments set up on your Heartland Bank Visa, it's your responsibility to ensure that merchants are informed and that you have a new card number, expiration date and the 3 digit security code.

Please don't hesitate to call us at 1-800-697-0049.

Just like any time you get a new card, activate the card by calling the number found on the sticker.

That's OK. You will still be able to use your chip card as you do today where chip-enabled terminals are not yet installed.

Yes. Chip cards are commonly referred to as EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) cards, smart cards and chip and pin cards.

Heartland Bank does not require you to use a pin with your debit card purchase; however, the merchant could make it a requirement. If you do not know your pin, please call us at 800-697-0049 and we will assist you with obtaining your pin.

No. You have a Chip & Signature card, so you should not need a PIN to make purchases with your credit card. The term 'PIN' or 'Signature' simply refers to how you will authorize the transaction - by entering a PIN or by providing your signature. When using your Heartland Bank VISA chip credit card, you'll be prompted for a signature to complete the transactions.

Yes. The chip generates a unique, one-time code each time you 'dip' your Heartland Bank Visa card at a chip-enabled terminal - this typically takes about 10 seconds. Chip card technology is already used in other countries around the world. It's been reported that chip cards and chip enabled terminals are expected to reduce debit card and credit card fraud by as much as 40%.
