Notify Us When You Travel
If you're an existing Parsons FCU Visa Credit or Debit cardholder, notify Card Services if you are traveling so that your spending privileges won't be interrupted. You can do so through online banking and your mobile app under Travel Notification.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate
Visit Visa's Foreign Currency Exchange website to estimate the rate of exchange when using your Parsons FCU Visa Credit Cards internationally. Visa charges a 1% Currency Conversion Fee.

For after-hours assistance with your Parsons FCU Visa Credit or Debit Card, please call:
Toll-free: (800) 547-1827

If suspicious activity is detected on your card, you may receive a text, email, or call from our card processing center to notify you and request your instruction to authorize or unauthorize the charge(s).

Card Activation Parsons FCU urges all credit and debit cardholders to activate and sign the back of their cards upon receipt. Technically, merchants are not authorized to accept credit or debit cards that are not signed by the cardholder or have used the signature panel on the back of the card for something other than a signature such as "Ask for ID."

EMV Chip Card Parsons FCU is very excited to offer our members the added protection that a chip card provides. There are a few things to know about your new card. The card has an embedded microchip that turns your Parsons FCU card member information into a unique code that is used to obtain approval for your transaction. For the card reader to read the chip, insert your card into the terminal and press the green button to accept the amount. Be sure to leave your card in the terminal and wait for authorization before removing your card. Removing it too soon can damage the chip. For a visual on how to use your card, click here.

Contactless Card Your Visa Platinum features the Contactless Indicator which means you can use it to tap to pay where you see the Contactless Symbol including many of your favorite stores. Tapping to pay with your Visa contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device is a secure way to pay because each transaction generates a transaction-specific, one-time code, that is extremely effective in reducing counterfeit fraud. To make a payment, your contactless chip card or payment-enabled mobile/wearable device must be placed within 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol located on the checkout terminal in order for the transaction to take place (so you can’t pay accidentally). You can also rest assured that Visa will protect your payment information from fraud losses and unauthorized purchases with Visa’s Zero Liability Policy.

Note to our long term card members: Our new rewards program, Explorer Rewards, allows our cardholders to enjoy upgraded perks and an enhanced website experience! Explorer Rewards will replace the existing Extra Awards program. Your existing points balance and accrual will not be impacted. You can access more information by clicking here.
