Your Mainstreet debit card is equipped with tap/flash which provides convenient and secure access to your accounts at ATM's and Interac© terminals at retailers.
At participating retailers, for purchases under $100 you have the option of tapping your card (flash) to pay or inserting your chip + PIN.
Card Set-Up
- To activate your flash card for the first time you must insert your chip and enter your PIN. This will activate your card for chip, flash/tap and online banking use.
- If you need to reset your PIN visit any Mainstreet branch, or one of the 3500+ ATM's on our network.
Security Features
- As a security feature, you can spend only up to a cumulative maximum of $199 over any time period, at which time you will be asked to insert your chip card and input your debit PIN.
- There is a $100 tap/flash limit per transaction. Purchases exceeding this amount will require your chip and PIN to be used.
Getting on to online banking
Before logging in with your new debit card, you must ensure it's activated (see instructions above). If you have any old cards "memorized" on your computer you must delete them first. Learn more here.
