Credit Cards

Manage your Budget

• Use your monthly card statement as a master receipt for purchases while tracking your monthly spending.

Keep Score

• A high credit score helps you obtain lower interest rates on loans. Using your card regularly and responsibly can demonstrate credit worthiness and help you build a better score.

Hang on to Your Money Longer

• Although credit cards do charge interest, there is a period to pay off your balance without incurring interest charges¹. These interest-free periods typically range between 20-30 days.

Use It and Be Rewarded

• Depending on your card, you can earn cash back, travel rewards and more. Product warranties are extended to qualifying items purchased with your card.

Peace of Mind

• Your United Community Bank Credit Card is ideal for emergencies. If your card is lost or stolen, you can report it any time. Most credit cards offer Zero-Liability Fraud Protection³.

Debit Cards

Works Just Like Cash

• Purchases are deducted automatically from your checking account.

Rest Easy

• If your card is lost or stolen, you can report it anytime. Your card includes Zero-Liability Fraud Protection² and 24-hour fraud monitoring protection. Your debit card includes 3D Secure authentication for participating online merchant purchases for extra protection.

Save Money

• Debit cards have no annual fees or interest charges. Using your debit card for day-to-day purchases and to pay bills eliminates checks.

Keep Track

• With Online and Mobile Banking, you can track your debit card transactions, add alerts to monitor purchases as they happen and view your transaction history within your monthly account statement.
