PLAN AHEAD. From 6 pm, October 30 through the morning of November 2, our team will be working hard to migrate your information and accounts into Gesa's systems as part of our merger. Our Member Contact Center, Digital Banking, and Mobile Banking will be unavailable during this transfer. Our Member Contact Center and branches will reopen on November 2. There's always the chance it will take longer than expected, in which case some services may not be available until the transfer is complete. Thank you for your patience as we go through this exciting update together.
Education, our passion. Giving back, our promise.
Inspirus Visa® debit and credit cards feature an embedded chip that improves security every time you make purchases at chip-activated terminals.
Receive enhanced fraud protection with chip technology. This tiny chip protects you from fraud by creating a one-time use code for each chip transaction. This code is virtually impossible to replicate and helps reduce in-store fraud.
Easy to use. You can simply swipe your card like you do today. However, if a chip-activated terminal is available, insert your card and follow the prompts.
Enjoy global acceptance. More chip-activated terminals are being used by U.S. retailers every year. Whether you check out using chip technology or swipe your card, you can pay with confidence worldwide – wherever Visa cards are accepted.
Every time you use your card at a chip-activated terminal, the embedded chip generates a one-time use code. This code is virtually impossible to counterfeit and helps reduce in-store fraud.
