What is a SHAZAMchek Card?

A debit card is nothing more than a plastic, encoded card that you can use to make purchases or get money from an ATM, with the funds being automatically deducted from your Gladewater National Bank checking account. This is not a credit card (Even though merchants are to treat it as a credit card transaction at their cash register).

SHAZAMchek is the “brand” of debit card offered by Gladewater National Bank, since our ATM transactions are all processed through the SHAZAM regional network. The cards also carry the MasterCard logo so that you can use it any place around the world that accepts MasterCard credit cards.

Why do I need one?

Have you ever been out of town and tried to write a check? What a hassle! With SHAZAMchek, all a merchant has to do is “Swipe” your card through their cash register or credit card terminal and within seconds you are on your way with your purchases. No more having to fumble with identification or having to recite your correct address and phone number. Use your SHAZAMchek card at millions of merchants around the world that accept MasterCard.

Do I also need an ATM card?

Your SHAZAMchek card doubles as an ATM (automated teller machine) card, enabling your to draw cash or make transfers between your checking and savings accounts from any one of thousands of ATM’s around the world. There’s no need for a separate card for ATM transactions.

What does it cost?

The card is FREE. There is no fee to have a SHAZAMchek card, or for any purchase transaction where you enter your PIN or sign the sales slip just as you would with a credit card purchase. There may be a fee to use an ATM other than our own. Every ATM is required to tell you what the fee will be prior to you completing the transaction.

There is a fee to replace a lost, stolen, mutilated or otherwise unreadable card. A customer service representative will inform you of this charge when you apply for a card.

How can I reconcile my checkbook without cancelled checks?

Each SHAZAMchek transaction you make will be listed on your statement with a brief location description. Check off these transactions, just as you do your canceled checks.
