  • Debit/ATM Card

  • My debit card expired and I received a replacement; how do I activate it?
  • You may remove and disregard the sticker on your replacement debit card. A renewal debit card comes already activated and does not require any form of activation.
  • My debit card is about to expire, when can I expect a new card?
  • Your card is valid until the end of the month and year embossed on the card. Your debit card will automatically renew and be mailed to your address. You can expect to receive your card before the end of the month it expires.
  • How do I activate my debit card?
  • You may activate your debit card through Ultrimal Investment's automated FirstLine phone service or by completing any transaction at any ATM. However, fees may apply for transactions through non-Ultrimal Investment ATMs. In both cases, you will need the 4-digit PIN that we mailed to you separately. If you do not have the PIN we mailed, please visit your local Ultrimal Investment branch or call us at +1 929 459 2119.
  • I didn’t get any money out of the ATM but it still took the money out of my account. What do I do?
  • ATMs are generally programmed to authorize funds before dispensing cash. When funds are authorized, a hold is placed on your account in the amount of the expected withdrawal. If funds were not dispensed, ATMs are designed to automatically remove holds at the end of the business day. If the transaction was attempted on a Saturday or Sunday, the hold will fall off at the end of business on Monday. If the transaction posts to your account, please stop in to any Ultrimal Investment branch to file a dispute for the transaction.
  • I made a purchase and it was taken out of my account twice. What do I do?
  • If the duplicate charge that appears on your account is currently a hold we can request the hold be removed. You can identify holds in your Online Banking account activity as they will display the current date or Saturday’s date on a Sunday. We will request this hold be removed and the funds should be available before the end of the current or next business day.

    However, we cannot prevent the charge from posting if the merchant processes the transaction. If the transaction posts (i.e. the date column displays a previous date that is not a Saturday) please contact the merchant for a refund or stop in to your local Ultrimal Investment branch to file a disput.
  • Why is the amount of the purchase in my account activity different than the amount on the receipt?
  • Authorization amount may differ from the posted amount. For example, gas stations often authorize $1.00 and restaurant authorizations may vary based on tip.These transactions should post to your account for the correct amount during our nightly processing. If the wrong amount appears in your account detail once the transaction has posted you may contact the merchant for correction or dispute the transaction by filing a legal affidavit at any Ultrimal Investment branch.
  • I did not get a debit MasterCard at the time I opened my account but would like one now. How do I request a card?
  • The application process for a debit MasterCard requires a signature. You may request this application in person at your local Ultrimal Investment branch. They will process your application and request your card the same day.
    If you would prefer a mailed application, please speak with one of our Relationship Bankers at +1 929 459 2119. Once received and completed, please send the completed and signed application back to us via U.S. Mail or drop it off at any Ultrimal Investment branch. We will order your card once the application is received.
  • What should I do if my card becomes damaged or does not function properly?
  • Please visit your local Ultrimal Investment branch or call us at +1 929 459 2119. Any of our representatives would be happy to order a replacement card. As this card will have the same information, there will be no interruption to the function of your current card.
  • How do I request a new debit card design?
  • You can change your debit card online and request the new debit card by logging into your online banking account and clicking on the debit card link located in the top header.  From that page select the card you want changed (if you have more than one), select the new design and submit your request.   You should receive your new card within 7-10 business days.  If you have already changed the design once then a $5.00 design change fee will be charged to your account.
    You may also request a new card design through your local Ultrimal Investment branch or by calling +1 929 459 2119.
  • I opted out of overdraft service, why did I have a debit card transaction post negatively?
  • Debit card transactions are approved or declined based on the funds available at the time of the transaction. These authorizations are not changed if the funds later become unavailable. For example, an outstanding paper check may post at the end of the business day, causing the transaction to post negatively. However, if you have opted out of Overdraft Support no fee will be charged for one-time debit card and ATM transactions that post without the funds available.
  • What should I do if I did not receive the PIN mailer to activate my new debit card?
  • If you did not receive your PIN mailer you can request a new mailer be sent by calling customer service at +1 929 459 2119.  You can also take your card to a branch to be re-pinned (not all branches have this capability, you may want to contact your local branch before visiting).
  • How do I change the PIN on my debit MasterCard?
  • If you know the current PIN on the card, you may change the PIN by calling +1 929 459 2119. After calling, wait for the FirstLine automated system. After the welcome message plays select option 2 to activate a card or change the PIN. Next, input the entire card number followed by the # sign then the current 4-digit PIN followed by the # sign. After the system verifies the information, select option 2 to change the PIN.

    If you do not know the current PIN, please call +1 929 459 2119. Any of our relationship bankers would be happy to adequately verify your identity and order a replacement PIN. This PIN would arrive by mail in 3 to 5 business days.
  • There is an unauthorized transaction on my account. What do I do?
  • Please call us at +1 929 459 2119 so we may identify the affected card and block it immediately to prevent additional unauthorized transactions for fraud. After this, please visit your local Ultrimal Investment branch and file a legal affidavit to dispute the unauthorized charge.
  • I will be traveling and using my debit card. Is there any way to note my account so you don't suspect fraud?
  • Please call us at +1 929 459 2119 to report where and when you will be traveling. We will make note of the information and make all attempts to prevent an interruption of service. However, if you have trouble completing transactions you may reach our Fraud Monitoring Department at 800.622.1361. They are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You may also call our Customer Contact Center at +1 929 459 2119.

  • Credit Card

  • What should I do if I see fraudulent transactions on my statement?
  • If you see fraudulent activity after receiving your credit card statement you should file a dispute using the form on the back of your statement. The dispute form should be mailed to the same address that payments are mailed to along with your payment. If you plan on paying your balance in full you may deduct the amount being disputed and pay the difference. However, you must still make a payment equal to or greater than the minimum payment reported on your statement.
