Decatur Earthmover Credit Union

Visa Travel Money

Visa Travel Money Prepaid debit cards are reloadable debit cards that will work all Visa locations and ATMs where you see the Plus or Interlink network.  The cards are issued at the credit union office (rather than mailed to your home) and can be used in over 20 million Visa locations worldwide.

  • After the initial set-up, you reload the card at the cumoney.com website

There are no fees for making purchases with the card.  Unlike the Visa gift card, the Visa Travel Money card can be used at hotels and pay at the pump.  One restriction for pay at the pump is that the card must have a minimum balance of $51.00 at use at the gas pump.  If the card has a balance of less than $51 you can go inside and ask the cashier to enter the exact amount. 

Besides using the Visa Travel Money card for your own travel, it would be a good alternative to send with your children if they go out of town or away to school.  Visa Travel Money could also be used for online purchases to avoid exposing your debit or credit card number to the internet.

Reloading the Card only takes minutes at www.cumoney.com.  Funds added will not be available for 3-5 business days.
