DCCU Debit Cards
DCCU provides a free Mastercard® Debit Card for use with our checking accounts to pay for purchases and access ATMs.
If you have joint owners on your checking account, both members receive their own debit card with its own number and PIN. If one card is lost or stolen, the other member isn’t inconvenienced.
Grow Checking from DCCU pays you dividends when you use your debit card each month. Ideal for members who prefer to use their debit card and enjoy eStatements, benefits of a Grow account (with eStatements) include:
Opportunity to earn dividends each month (up to 2.53% APY on deposits up to $25,000)
Free Bill Payer ($6 monthly savings)
DCCU's Foreign ATM fee is waived ($0.50 savings per transaction)
The amount of dividends you earn each month depends upon how many times you use your DCCU Grow debit card:

The Grow Checking accounts are tiered rate accounts. Tiers are based on account balance and activity. If activity requirements are not met, any balance earns the base rate tier of 0.00%. Accounts that meet tier 1 monthly requirements of 10 debit transactions and are enrolled in eStatements earn a tier 1 dividend rate of 0.75% on all balances up to and including $25,000. Balances over $25,000 earn the base rate tier of 0.00%. Accounts that meet tier 2 monthly requirements of 15 debit transactions totaling $250 or greater, and are enrolled in eStatements earn a tier 2 dividend rate of 2.50% on all balances up to and including $25,000. Balances over $25,000 earn the base rate tier of 0.00%. Due to this blended rate structure, the annual percentage yield (APY) varies depending on the balance. Increased balances have decreased yields. Net purchases are all of your debit card purchases minus all refunds or credit transactions to your debit card number within the calendar month. No minimum balance required. Up to 10 free nationwide ATM withdrawals per year ($5 maximum per ATM refund). One Grow checking account per primary member and it is allowed for personal accounts only.

Overdraft Protection
No one likes to overdraw their checking account, but sometimes it happens. DCCU offers three options to protect yourself from “bouncing” a check or overdrawing your account by a debit card purchase:
Automatic transfer from Savings – exact amount of money needed to bring your balance to $0 is transferred. Fee charged.
There is no loan application since you're using your own funds to cover the overdraft.
A $5 fee will be charged each time a transfer is required.
Overdraft Protection Line of Credit – money in $100 increments is transferred from this line of credit tied to your Checking Account. Interest accrues until paid back.
An application is required since this is a line of credit.
No fee is charged, but interest will be charged once the line of credit is accessed.
Interest is only charged on funds that are transferred to cover the overdraft. If no money is transferred, no interest is charged.
Because Overdraft Protection is a line of credit, it can be re-used once the advanced amount is repaid.
Overdraft Privilege – (also called Courtesy Pay) DCCU pays the item for you, taking your account negative, you must bring balance back to $0 or greater within two weeks. Fee charged.
No application is required, but credit is reviewed when account is opened.
A $25 fee is charged each time a transfer is required.
Having a form of overdraft protection reduces the cost of paying returned check/item fees to merchants. You may opt to have more than one form of Overdraft Protection and prioritize the order in which they are used. Any type of Overdraft Protection covers all types of transactions that might overdraw your account, including:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#lhnContainerDone').hide(); //hides the link by default
var d = new Date(); //gets the current date time
var n = d.getDay(); //determines day of the week ... 0=Sun, 1=Mon...
if (n >= 1 && n <= 4)
{ //checks if it is Monday through thursday
var startt = new Date(); //creates a start date
startt.setHours(09); //sets start date hour to 9
startt.setMinutes(0); // sets start minutes to 00
var endt = new Date(); //creates end date
endt.setHours(17); //sets end date time to 5 PM
endt.setMinutes(30); //sets end date minutes to 5:30 PM
if (d >= startt && d <= endt) //checks to see if the current date/time is between the start and end date
$('#lhnContainerDone').show(); //shows the link if it is true
}
else if (n == 5) // day is friday
{
var startt = new Date(); //creates a start date
startt.setHours(09); //sets start date hour to 9
startt.setMinutes(0); // sets start minutes to 00
var endt = new Date(); //creates end date
endt.setHours(18); //sets end date time to 6 PM
endt.setMinutes(00); //sets end date minutes 00
if (d >= startt && d <= end) //checks to see if the current date/time is between the start and end date
$('#lhnContainerDone').show(); //shows the link if it is true
}
else
{
$('#lhnContainerDone').hide(); //hides the link if false
}
});
