Manage your funds while controlling spending

Start the School Year Off Right: 4 Reasons to Use Your Debit Card This School Year
With summer coming to an end, families are gearing up for back-to-school. Whether it's notebooks, clothes, or electronics, a lot goes into ensuring that your student is ready to tackle whatever the school year throws at them. The average American household with children in K-12 plans to spend an average of $858.07 on back-to-school shopping.** For families that are taking the exciting leap to college, the expected cost jumps to an estimated $1,325.85. ** Putting those expenses on a credit card means accruing interest if you don’t pay it off right away, and if you’re like many parents looking for online deals, there is no way to use cash. Here are a few reasons why using your debit card can help you start the school year off right:
Why get a Debit Card with Cedar Point Federal Credit Union®?
- Convenience – Why carry money when your debit card functions like cash?
- Control Spending – It’s easy to quickly rack up (and lose track of) credit card purchases. With a Visa® Debit card, you can use digital banking to check your available funds before you go shopping.
- Avoid Paying Interest – Unlike credit cards, when you make a purchase using your Visa® Debit card, you draw funds directly from your Cedar Point account.
- Track Your Purchases – Download CardValet® from the AppStore or Google Play to set and receive card alerts, control card usage and monitor transactions—all from your mobile device.
If you are traveling or making purchases outside of your home state, please remember to ask a representative to set travel exemptions for you ahead of time.
