The NYCE Network: a card without borders

Pay your purchases easily in the United States

When you travel to the U.S., your Client Card (debit card) can be used to pay for purchases. Direct payment in the U.S. works the same way as Interac Direct Payment. A keypad at the merchant allows you to confirm the amount of your purchase in U.S. dollars. The amount, after conversion into Canadian dollars, is then directly debited from your account.

Your debit cards is accepted at close to 1 million points of sale in the United States, including most grocery stores and service stations.

This provides a number of benefits including:

• Greater security: You can carry less cash with you and your card cannot  be used without your PIN.
• Instant access to your money.

And most supermarkets allow clients to withdraw cash like at home.

You can use your Client Card at retailers displaying the NYCE logo. For more information on the NYCE network you can visit www.nyce.net
