Debit Cards

Obtain a LES People’s Debit Card with a Checking Account. Our Debit Cards are accepted everywhere MasterCard® is accepted. 

Using a debit Mastercard is a convenient way to manage your finances because funds are deducted directly from your checking account. Having an electronic record of every transaction can be a real time-saver and makes keeping track of what you spend a snap.

Whether you use debit Mastercard to shop online, by phone or in a store, every purchase is backed by Zero Liability Protection. That means you won't be held responsible in the event that someone makes unauthorized purchases with your card.‎

As a cardholder, you will not be held responsible for unauthorized transactions if:

  1. You have used reasonable care in protecting your card from loss or theft; and

  2. You promptly reported loss or theft to your financial institution.

If you have questions regarding Zero Liability coverage or you suspect unauthorized use of your card, contact LES People’s IMMEDIATELY.
