Your new Visa® Debit Card: 
Get big protection in a tiny chip

Your Guaranty Bank Visa® Debit Card now features an embedded chip that improves security every time you make purchases at a chip-activated terminal.

Receive enhanced fraud protection with chip technology. This tiny chip protects you from fraud by creating a one-time use code for each chip transaction. This code helps reduce in-store fraud.

Easy to use. Simply swipe your card like you do today. However, if a chip-activated terminal is available, insert your card instead and follow the prompts.

Enjoy global acceptance. Chip-activated terminals are coming to certain U.S. retailers this year – and more locations in the years to come. Whether you check out using chip technology or swipe your card, you can pay with confidence worldwide – wherever Visa Debit Cards are accepted.
