Today most people are looking for the ease and convenience of cashless spending. Generally, for a majority of people, there are two popular options. This would be a credit card or a debit card. A debit card has many advantages as opposed to a credit card when looking for cashless spending options. For example, a debit card will help you avoid fees and service charges often associated with a credit card. A debit card still allows you the same convenience of fast and convenient transactions for purchases and access to fast cash.
Like many other major credit and debit cards, our Tonawanda Valley Federal Credit Union (TVFCU) Visa Debit Card offers contactless payment. When a debit or credit card has contactless payment features, you can tap or hold your card near the contactless-enabled merchant terminal. Encrypted card information is then sent to the contactless reader. This makes your payments quick, and secure with little need to come in contact with the terminal where you’re shopping or doing business.
When you open your TVFCU checking account you can also get a TVFCU VISA Debit Card. Your card can be used for purchases and ATM withdrawals at over 30,000 ATM’s within our nationwide network. Rest assured our network allows you to access ATM’s even if you travel outside the Batavia area.

You can use our ATM co-op network finder to see the nearest surcharge-free ATM to you.
