Visa® Account Updater (VAU)

However, you can opt out at any time by contacting Card Services at  or by calling 800.374.2758.

*Usually a purchase fee of up to $6.95 may be charged by the credit union. Monthly inactivity fee of $2.95 after 12 consecutive months of inactivity. Lost/stolen replacement card fee of $5.00.
