You will no longer receive a PIN in the mail, and your old PIN will not work with the new card. You can select your unique PIN by calling the number on the activation label and choosing the PIN option.
My existing card does not expire for quite a while – can I continue using my existing card until the expiration?

Yes. As a security feature, all cards being issued with this conversion will have a unique number and will arrive separately. However, you will continue to receive only one bill, regardless of the number of cards on the account.
What do I need to do if I have preauthorized or recurring payments that are tied to my existing SPX FCU credit card?

Will the due date for my credit card payment change?
No. Your due date will stay the same.

Your payment will be applied to your new card. Please note that it may take a few business days for this payment activity to be posted to your new card. For future payments, please ensure you have updated your payment information.
I set up my monthly credit card payment as an automatic ACH transfer, payroll deduction or as a recurring transfer. Do I have to make any changes?
