A MORE CONVENIENT WAY TO PAY
City Bank debit cards are a great way to make your banking safe, convenient and hassle-free.
The first card you reach for. The last you'll ever need.
The City Bank MasterCard® Debit Card is very similar to a credit card in that it can be used to make purchases at millions of locations worldwide and access cash at ATMs. The most important difference is that your debit purchase amount is immediately deducted from your checking account.
Safe & Secure
Spend with confidence, because your account is continuously monitored for suspicious activity. In the event of unauthorized purchases, you will be protected by the MasterCard guarantee. Also, with the City Bank App, you have the ability to turn your debit card on and off at your convenience.
Tap and Pay
City Bank MasterCard® Debit Cards are contactless. Simply tap your debit card against a card reader to pay. This option allows you to skip inserting or swiping your card. Look for the contactless symbol at contactless-enabled merchant terminals to use this feature.
24-Hr ATM Access
Your City Bank MasterCard Debit Card doubles as an ATM card. Use your card after hours to make withdrawals and transfer funds. City Bank ATM transactions are free of charge to all City Bank customers.

Get texts when City Bank’s Fraud Center detects irregular or possible fraudulent activity
There’s a new layer of communication to keep you informed when it comes to irregular or potentially fraudulent activity on your debit card. We now text customers in the event there is any irregular or fraudulent activity as we take precautions on your behalf to temporarily deactivate your City Bank debit card
How it works
You will receive a text message that will allow you to confirm or deny fraud with a simple “YES” or “NO” reply. If the activity is valid, you will be asked to contact City Bank for further assistance.If you fail to respond within 5 minutes after the text notification has been delivered, an automated call from our Fraud Center will contact you asking you to confirm or deny any fraud. However, texts generated from a failed transaction due to restrictions will not be followed by phone call.
