Debit Card alert
We wish to advise that there is currently an issue
at some merchant locations, as a result of a software update, on
their point of sale devices.
This problem is impacting all financial institutions that have
issued new cards supporting the mandated changes of Combined Data
Authentication. This is not a card issue, but is an issue with
terminals at the point-of-sale.
Unfortunately, this is resulting in cards issued in 2019 (debit &
credit) being declined.
If you experience an issue with your debit card it has been
suggested that you could:
We recommend members to have credit cards if issued
prior to 2019 or cash on hand as a backup until this issue is
resolved.
The merchants impacted that we have been made aware
of are:
-
Canada: Global Payments (Loblaw Brand
merchants), Moneris (Costco, La Senza, Victoria Secret/Pink,
Bath and Body Works, Esso, Petro Canada) and other small
merchants
-
USA: NYCE network (Walmart, Costco, Shell,
McDonalds and other merchants)

practices in the financial world!
The concept of a “Sales Culture” has been around for
