Card Activation  Parsons FCU urges all credit and debit card holders 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.
