Prairie Pride Credit Union Card Products & Electronic Services

 Change to Card Acceptance in Foreign Countries

Effective October 1, 2007, CUETS-issued MasterCard® credit card and GLOBAL PAYMENT™ MasterCard transactions will no longer be accepted in the following countries: Iran, Myanmar (Burma), North Korea, Sudan and Cuba. Due to political situations internationally, which are subject to change, the direction of the corporation of which CUETS Financial Ltd. belongs is to not accept transactions from these specific countries.



With our family of card products, the Prairie Pride Credit Union is able to provide you with a host of beneficial features and benefits that will meet your individual needs. Plus with the convenience of our electronic services, access to your accounts has never been easier.


Cards - Debit & Payment Cards, MasterCard Credit Cards, MasterCard Merchant Program

Electronic - ATM's, MemberDirect®




MEMBER CARD®

The MEMBER CARD identifies you as a credit union member. With your MEMBER CARD you can:
  • Complete a number of transactions at any credit union Automated Teller Machine in the province.
  • Withdraw cash around the world from any machine bearing INTERAC®, CIRRUS®  or EXCHANGE® logos
  • Access the INTERAC "Direct Payment" network at participating retailers or credit unions in Canada or around the world at merchants bearing the MAESTRO® logos.
  • Buyer Protection
    This coverage offers protection on the purchase of most retail items - and that includes gifts!  For a full 90 days after the purchase, the item is protected if it's lost, stolen, dropped and broken or even consumed in a fire.  
    For example: if you're wrapping that expensive crystal vase and it suddenly crashes to the floor, you're protected!
     
    Valid claims will be satisfied either by replaing the lost or damaged item, or by a cash payment in an amount not to exeed the amount of the total purchase price.
     
  • Extended Warranty
    The Program doubles the warranty period of a purchased item up to one entire year, as long as the manufacturer's warranty is valid in Canada for five years or less.  
    For example: when you purhase a VCR, the manufacturer would typically offer a one-year warranty.  But if you use the Member Card Debit Card for the purchase, the VR would be protected under the terms of the original warranty for an additional one year.
