Debit Cards
How do I report a lost or stolen Debit Card?
It is important to notify the bank
immediately upon noticing your card is lost/stolen. To notify the Bank after hours, contact
877-217-4682. During banking hours, contact our
Customer Support Center or visit any
Nodaway Valley Bank branch.
A new card may be picked up immediately at any Nodaway Valley Bank branch or you may request the new card be mailed by calling our Customer Support Center.
Do I need to notify the bank that I am traveling?
Yes, fraud prevention tools are in place which could impact your ability to use your card. If you are going to be traveling to a different state or country, it is very important that you notify the bank prior to leaving and update your contact information in case issues arise with a card purchase. If you forget to notify the bank prior to leaving, simply contact our
Customer Support Center during your travel.
Do I need to notify the bank that my Debit Card is about to expire?
No. A new debit card will be automatically ordered at the beginning of the expiration month. It will be sent through the mail and should be received before the month’s end. Your card will be valid through the end of the expiration month. It is important to watch your mail closely during the expiration month – your new card will be mailed in a generic envelope that does not list the bank’s name and may be confused with junk mail.
If you have not received your new card by the end of the expiration month, please notify our Customer Support Center.
How do I get a new Debit Card or PIN?
You may visit any
Nodaway Valley Bank branch to pick up a new debit card or create a new PIN. If you can’t visit a branch, simply contact our
Customer Support Center for a new card to be mailed to you. Replacement card fees may apply.
Can I choose my own PIN?
If you cannot visit a branch, you can call
877-406-3582 to reset a PIN.
When will I receive my new Debit Card?
New cards may be requested and picked up the same day by visiting any Nodaway Valley Bank location.
If a new card is being mailed, it takes approximately 7-10 days to arrive. When expecting a new card, watch your mail very closely, your card will arrive in a generic looking envelope that does not list the bank’s name and may be confused with junk mail.
How does a Debit Card work?
Using an NVB Debit Card is similar to making purchases with cash or check, only it’s safer and more convenient. When you use your Debit Card, funds are automatically debited from your NVB Checking Account, usually within one to four days. These transactions will appear on your account statement for easy record keeping and budgeting.
Should I choose debit or credit?
When you use your debit card, you may be asked to specify “debit” or “credit”. Regardless of your choice, funds will be automatically deducted from your NVB checking account. Running your card as a “debit” will require you to enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number). Running your card as a “credit” may require you to sign for your purchase.
Where can I use my Debit Card?
Your NVB Debit Card can be used anywhere worldwide that accepts MasterCard debit*. Use your card for purchases in store, online, by phone, or at the gas pump. Access cash by requesting cash back with your purchases in store or at any ATM displaying the MasterCard, Pulse or Exchange symbols.
*Make sure to notify the bank if you are going to be traveling to a different state or country. Fraud prevention tools are in place which could impact your ability to use your card if the bank is not notified prior to your travels.
How is an NVB Debit Card different from a Credit Card?
Debit card purchases and withdrawals are automatically deducted from your NVB checking account. These transactions will show on your account statement and
online banking for easy record keeping. It works similarly to using cash or writing a check but is safer and more convenient.
Credit card purchases accumulate on a monthly bill, deferring payment until the bill comes due. If the bill is not paid in full, your balance will be charged interest and added to your card balance. When used responsibly, credit cards are a great way to establish and build your credit. Plus, when using a credit card with rewards, you’ll earn reward points for your purchases that can be redeemed for cash, merchandise, travel, and more!
May I request more than one Debit Card for the same account?
Each account owner or signer is allowed to have one card per account.
Are there any fees for using an NVB Debit Card?
There are no debit card fees for making purchases with your card, getting cash back with a purchase, or when using an NVB ATM. However, fees will be assessed when a card is used at a non-NVB ATM*.
List of NVB Fees:
- $1.50 for withdrawals at a non-NVB ATM
- $1.50 for balance inquiry at a non-NVB ATM
- $1.00 for a denied transaction at a non-NVB ATM
- $7.50 for a replacement card
*Interested in free ATM transactions nationwide? Check out our Free Reward Checking account!
What is my daily limit?
- PIN and Signature Purchases per calendar day $5,000
- ATM per calendar day $1,500
- PIN/Signature/ATM have a combined daily limit of $6,500
To change a card limit, please call 877-217-4682.
The daily limit can vary based on transactions that are pending on your debit card. Even transactions that you did on a previous day could still be pending and impact your limit. If you’re concerned about surpassing your daily limit, it’s best to call our Customer Support Center for assistance.
Apple Pay
What is Apple Pay and how does it work?
Apple Pay is Apple’s new, innovative payment technology that adds convenience and security to your payment methods. It offers swipe-free payment so your card never leaves your hands. Plus it never reveals your card number to the merchant, whether pay online or in-person.
When your card is added to your device, a unique Device Account Number is assigned, encrypted and securely stored instead of your actual card number. When you make a purchase, instead of using your card number, Apple Pay uses the Device Account Number along with a transaction-specific dynamic security code to process your payment. For more great information, visit apple.com/apple-pay.

EMV Chip Card Technology
What is a chip card?
Chips cards (also known as EMV cards) are credit and debit cards embedded with a microprocessor chip in the front of the card. The chip provides an added layer of security when used in person at a chip-enabled terminal.
Note: The chip technology does not work if you swipe your card’s magnetic strip, provide the cashier with your card number, pay online, or pay by phone.
Do all retailers accept chip cards?
Not all retailers have chip card readers. To ensure you can use your chip card at any retailer, it will continue to have a magnetic stripe on the back of the card. If the retailer is not chip-enabled, you will simply swipe your card using the magnetic stripe.
How do I pay at a chip-enabled terminal?
If you have a chip card, you will insert your card at the top or bottom of the terminal and follow the on-screen prompts.
If you do not have a chip card, you will swipe the magnetic stripe on the back of your card.
Will my Nodaway Valley Bank card use chip technology?
Nodaway Valley Bank credit cards (Visa and American Express) will have chips. If your credit card does not currently have a chip, you will receive a new card upon expiration of your existing card.
Nodaway Valley Bank debit cards (MasterCard) will not have chips at this time because it does not improve the payment process for you, the cardholder. Nor does the chip impact your liability for fraud.
Will the chip prevent fraud?
Chip technology provides an added layer of security that helps reduce the chance of fraud when used in person at a chip-enabled terminal. It does not have an effect on fraud resulting from the card being used online, by phone, or at a terminal that is not chip-enabled.
What happens if I have fraud on my card?
Whether your card is chip enabled or not, you have $0 liability for fraudulent charges made with your Nodaway Valley Bank credit or debit cards when lost or stolen cards are reported promptly.
ClickSwitch/CardSwap
What is ClickSWITCH?
ClickSWITCH is an automated account switching solution that makes it easy for you to quickly and securely switch your recurring direct deposits and automatic payments from your previous financial institution account to your account at Nodaway Valley Bank (NVB).
How does ClickSWITCH work?
ClickSWITCH removes the hassle of contacting all of your billers and depositors to inform them of your new account information. You input your payment and direct deposit information to our secure ClickSWITCH system, submit the switch and we’ll do the rest. You can monitor the progress of your switches by clicking on the “View Existing Switches” on the home screen of your Dashboard.
Is ClickSWITCH secure?
Yes. ClickSWITCH uses the latest in online encryption protection to gather and store your switch information. Additionally, our facilities adhere to the highest industry standards with regard to the security of your personal information.
Who do I contact if I need help setting up my switches or if I have questions?
Please contact Nodaway Valley Bank at 877-217-4682 or
click here to Chat.
How do I log in and get started?
Getting started with ClickSWITCH is easy! Once enrolled, you’ll need the SwitchTRACK code provided to you during enrollment, or you can activate your ClickSWITCH account through the Welcome Email you received.
Where do I get a SwitchTRACK code?
NVB will provide you with a SwitchTRACK code form when you are enrolled in the branch. You can also get your SwitchTRACK code over the phone from a banker or customer support specialist.
My SwitchTRACK code isn’t working; what should I do?
Please contact NVB at 877-217-4682 or
click here to Chat.
What do I need to start my switch?
You’ll need to gather all of your automatic payment and direct deposit information to get your switches started. A previous statement is a great source of information for the automatic payments and direct deposits tied to an account.
What is an automatic payment?
An automatic payment is a regular, ongoing payment that is initiated by your biller to your bank account, such as a monthly insurance bill, utility payment or automobile loan payment.
What is a direct deposit?
A direct deposit is any payment that you receive directly into your account. These could include payroll direct deposits, government direct deposits (Social Security, Disability, etc.) and dividend direct deposits from investment accounts.
How long will it take for me to submit a switch request?
Submitting a switch typically takes less than 90 seconds.
Once a switch has been submitted, when does a company receive the information?
Switches are processed and sent out within 24 hours of the switch being submitted.
How long will it take for my switch to be complete?
Once a company receives the form, automatic payment and direct deposit switches typically take 5-15 business days. Since the timeframe depends on the company receiving the switch request, it’s always a good idea to review your switch status page for the most current information regarding each switch and to continue monitoring your accounts. Timing for each switch can vary depending on the type of payment or deposit, the biller or depositor and the method needed to switch the payment or deposit.
Do I need to call my billers and depositors to confirm the switch?
We display the status for each automatic payment or direct deposit on the home screen under the button titled “View Existing Switches”. If a switch shows a “Completed” there’s no need to contact the biller or depositor. For switches that are marked as “Mailed” for more than 15 business days, you may want to contact the biller or depositor to confirm the status and see if the company needs additional information.
Why do I need to enter my billing account number or other specific information?
Companies require specific information to ensure your identity and to update the account information in their system.
Which address should I use for my biller and depositor?
A large number of billers and depositors are already in our system. However, if we do not have a company’s address, please use the address that is indicated on the payment confirmation or statement the company sends you. You can also typically find the address displayed in the Help or Contact Us areas of the company’s website.
What if I don’t have the information required to submit a switch?
If a field has an asterisk on the right, this information is required in order for the switch to be submitted. If you are in the middle of a switch, you can click “Save and Continue Later”. It will save as an “Information Needed” status and you can either log back in later when you have the required information or contact the financial institution for help.
How do I know if my payment or deposit has been switched?
The easiest way to check the status of a switch is to look at the “Status” column of your ClickSWITCH account. Switches that have been completed and confirmed by your biller or depositor will display a “Completed” status. Switches that are still in process will display a “Mailed” status. For switches that have a mailed status for 15 days or more, we recommend contacting the company to confirm the switch is completed or check your account.
What if I forget to include an automatic payment or direct deposit when submitting my switches?
You can easily submit additional switches any time! Simply log in to your ClickSWITCH account and click the correct tab in your Dashboard.
What if my switch isn’t completed and I miss a payment?
Monitoring your switch status is an important part of moving your account. It is advisable to keep enough money in your old account to cover each payment until the switch status for that payment has changed to “Completed,” or you’ve confirmed with your billers that your payment account information is updated in their systems.
When is it safe to move/remove funds from my prior account?
We recommend keeping enough money in your old account to cover each payment until the switch status is “Completed.” This is especially important for any payments that might be due during the 14 days after you initiate a switch.
One of my switches has an “Action Needed” status. What does this mean?
Occasionally, after you have submitted a switch for processing, our research team determines that the company requires you to update your banking information with them online. When this happens, your switch will show an “Action Needed” status. You may also see an “Action Needed” status if the switch is rejected for other reasons. To see the details of the action you need to take, you can click on the Edit icon in the Actions column.
Will I be notified of any switch updates?
If you provided an email address during enrollment and have allowed alert emails, you will receive switch updates via email. If not, you will need to log in to ClickSWITCH and view the switch status.
Can I use ClickSWITCH to switch my bill payments?
If the bill payment is not automatically recurring, you’re not able to use ClickSWITCH for it.
I’m having technical difficulties. Who should I contact?
