Debit Card
The Citizens MasterCard Debit Card allows direct access to funds in your checking account. It can be used at any location that accepts MasterCard to make retail purchases or cash withdrawals at an ATM Machine.

ATM Card
Our ATM card can be used to make cash withdrawals only from your checking or savings accounts. They can be used at any ATM that accepts MasterCard.
In our continuing efforts to keep your accounts secure, we’ve improved our alert system to help detect potential fraud. This new service protects you by watching over your Debit and ATM transactions 24/7 using state-of-the-art intelligence technology and skilled fraud experts. If we detect suspicious transactions, one of our fraud specialists will attempt to contact you right away. We’ll disable your card immediately if fraud is confirmed, and if you aren’t available, we’ll assign your card a special “watch” status until we know all is well.

Important reminders:
  • When a fraud specialist attempts to contact you, they will never ask for your PIN or account number.
  • Calls and text messages from our Fraud Center will come from specific numbers. If you would like the phone number and short code for our Fraud Center, please contact the bank. It's a good idea to save these numbers in your phone contacts and label them "Fraud Center" so it will display on your phone when you get a call or text from the Fraud Center.
