Yes, you can. There’s a helpful online utility you can use to submit your personalized design for your debit card.

Your ATM experience can be customized to skip the screen asking you to select a language. To do this, simply swipe your card, select your language and enter your PIN. Then, select “Set Preferences” (lower, right side of the screen). Choose to always default to English or Spanish, then save your preference. Next time you enter your PIN, you will not be prompted to select a language.

If you have a personal or business credit, debit or ATM card, you can set up or change the PIN over the phone. Please call 800-888-7882 for details.

Checks are subject to a hold. Cash is available upon deposit. There is no waiting period.

ATMs default to a “Checking” option and a “Savings” option. Selecting either of these options will show only the primary checking or the primary savings account.

If you have more than one checking or savings account, those accounts will be accessible by selecting the “From Other” option.

Yes, you can pay for purchases by holding your iPhone (see compatible devices) near a contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID.  No need to open an app or even wake your phone. Check for the Apple Pay or contactless payment logo somewhere near the checkout terminal, near or on the device that you’d otherwise slide your credit card through.

To add your eligible Vantage West credit or debit cards to Apple Pay, follow the Apple Pay instructions Apple Pay provides the same benefits and protection as your physical card, with the convenience of making secure transactions on your iOS device. Use Apple Pay anywhere contactless payments are accepted and to make purchases in app with participating apps.

In addition to the right hardware, you’ll need an iCloud account. Once established, associate your Vantage West credit or debit card with Apple Pay. On your iPhone, start by loading up your Passbook*. (On your iPad, go to Settings, and then the Passbook & Apple Pay option.) Then tap the plus icon within the Apple Pay section. If you already have a credit card associated with an iTunes account, enter your card’s security code to transfer it over to your Passbook. Otherwise, you can use your device’s camera to capture your card’s information (and, likewise, enter the security code in manually).

*Note that Passbook has been renamed Wallet in iOS 9.
