Card

If you plan on traveling, notify a member services representative by calling the office during business hours or emailing support@upennsfcu.org. You may temporarily raise your debit card limit if you expect to spend over the $500 daily limit.

Usage:
The limits on your card apply for one business day, which occurs from 3 PM EST from one day to the next. There is a maximum of 15 transactions and a $500 spending limits. Please note that limits will not be reset on weekends, as Friday 3 PM to Monday 3 PM is considered to be one business day.

Suspected fraud:
If you are in a foreign country or purchasing from an international website, transactions of large amounts are likely to be marked as suspected fraud. Please contact a Member Service Representative to have a travel exception applied. Your card may also not work if you are trying to transact with a merchant where fraud cases occur frequently, or if you are not using your chip at a POS machine that supports chip transactions. You may contact a Member Services Representative who may ask you to confirm if a transaction is authorized and unblocked your card.
