CASH$TASH

Cash$tash is for members 11 -19 years of age and works like this...parents put money into the account... like what they've already set aside for books, gas, clothes, vacations, or emergencies.  They deposit money from their credit or check card, or checking account, and can even set up regular, automatic transfers to give an allowance.

Then teens use the card at the mall, over the phone, even online, at over 20 million locations where VISA DEBIT is accepted.  Sound like a credit card?  It's not!

Purchases are deducted immediately from the card account. Balance too low?  Sorry, no sale. Time to deposit again!  It's like cash, but smarter, safer, and a perfect tool for teaching teens about budgeting and financial responsibility.

Cash$tash, the responsible Debit Card...

Encourages financial accountability with online tracking of purchases, so parents and teens can talk about how to spend and budget responsibly. Helps teens become more conscientious. Secure because only the teen can use the card, and online account information is password protected. Safer than cash because if it's lost or stolen, you're protected with VISA's Zero Liability policy.

USING YOUR CASH$TASH CARD

Where can teens use the card?

Teens can use the card to make purchases at more than 20 million VISA merchant locations...at stores by phone, and online...worldwide.

Who can use the card?

Just the teen whose name appears on the card.  Not parents.  Not friends.

Can teens use the card at an ATM?

Yes.  Teens can use the Cash$tash Card, along with a PIN (personal identification number), to withdraw cash from any of the nearly 650,000 VISA ATMs worldwide.  Parents need to apply for a PIN for their teen during the enrollment process.

How do parents add money to the account?

Parents can add money to the account, day or night, seven days a week...just by logging onto CU-Online or calling the toll-free ART line (1-800-642-SFCU).  And regular transfers...like every week or two...are simple to set up for giving an allowance.

How is Cash$tash safer than carrying cash?

If cash is lost, that's it.  Not a problem with Cash$tash.  The cash is deposited into the account and, if the card is lost or stolen, the money is protected!

What happens if Cash$tash is lost or stolen?

Don't worry, the card and account balance can be replaced, and VISA's enhanced Zero Liability policy guarantees you maximum protection against fraud.  You have complete liability protection for all of your card transactions that take place on the VISA system.
