Debit cards are a type of payment card that allows you to access the funds in your bank account. When you use a debit card, the funds are taken directly from your account, making it a convenient way to make purchases without carrying cash. Debit cards are accepted at most stores and can also be used to withdraw money from ATMs.

At Bank Independent we are built to serve, not just our customers, but even more so, our team members. This mission is something that sets us apart from the crowd, and now, we are thrilled to announce that Newsweek has recognized Bank Independent as one of America’s Most Loved Workplaces for the second year in a row. Our organization ranked at #33, three spots higher than last year! This is a great honor and a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team members and to the outstanding culture that those same team members have created.

What Does it Mean to be Recognized as a Most Loved Workplace?

Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Loved Workplaces is based on a survey of over 60,000 American workers. The survey asked participants to rate their employers on various factors, including company culture, employee benefits, opportunities for growth and development, and work-life balance.

What Is a Contactless Debit Card?

A contactless debit card functions similarly to a traditional card but enables transactions without requiring the user to swipe or insert it into a card reader. Typically, contactless debit cards employ Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to facilitate transactions. NFC is a wireless technology that operates over short distances, allowing devices such as contactless debit cards and receivers to connect when they are in close proximity.

While online banks offer competitive rates and services, there are still advantages to having a local bank. One of the most significant benefits is the ability to access in-person customer service. When you have a question or concern about your account, being able to speak with someone face-to-face can provide peace of mind that cannot be replicated by online communication.
