Yes, temporarily. Your old Mastercard debit card will be deactivated on the 2nd day of the month following receipt of your new card. Please securely dispose of your old card after successfully activating the new one.

I have multiple LAPFCU accounts with debit cards. How can I determine which account this debit card is linked to?

Call us at (877) 695-2732, visit a branch, or activate your card and visit the nearest ATM to determine which account is linked to the card.

When is the deadline to activate my new card?

We recommend activating your new Visa debit card as soon as you receive it, since your current card will be deactivated on the 2nd day of the month following receipt of your new card.

What will happen to my automatic payments linked to my old Mastercard debit card?

You must update card information on file with merchants, service providers, or financial institutions where you use your debit card for automatic payments, to avoid payment interruptions.

When I activate my new card, do I need to choose a new PIN that hasn’t been used previously?

When you call to activate your card, the system will prompt you to choose a PIN. You can re-use a PIN you used previously.

What if I have a joint account holder?

Joint account holders will receive their own new debit card separately and must activate it upon receipt.
