MEMBER CARD
Member Card Debit Card Limits
There are daily limits applied to a Member Card debit card for cash withdrawals (ATM) and point of sale (POS) purchases. There is also a maximum of 10 transactions per day on a debit card as a fraud prevention measure. To find out your daily limits or to increase your limit for a large purchase, contact your local branch.
Exceeded PIN Tries
If you have exceeded your PIN tries by entering an incorrect PIN 3 times in a row, your debit card will be locked and will not work until your can reactivate your card. To do this, simply visit any ATM and enter to correct PIN number. HMECU staff cannot activate a locked debit card remotely; you must reset your PIN at an ATM or by visiting a branch.
