Tap, Pay, and Go

Your New Contactless Debit and Credit Cards are Here!

Trailhead is excited to announce the launch of our new tap-to-pay debit and credit cards! We are committed to providing you with the most convenient and secure ways to manage your money, and these new contactless tap cards deliver just that.

Say goodbye to swiping and inserting—now you can simply tap your card or payment-enabled device at the checkout terminal and be on your way. Look for the contactless symbol (which looks like a sideways Wi-Fi signal) at merchants everywhere.

The Benefits of Tapping to Pay

Contactless payment is more than just a novelty; it offers several key advantages that make your daily transactions easier and safer:

  • Speed and Convenience: Tapping your card is significantly faster than swiping or inserting, entering a PIN, or signing a receipt. This means shorter checkout times and a smoother shopping experience, especially in fast-paced environments like coffee shops and grocery stores.
  • Enhanced Security: Your security is our top priority. When you tap your card, it uses advanced chip technology to generate a one-time, transaction-specific code. This feature protects your actual card number, making it extremely difficult for fraudsters to get your information. Your card never leaves your hand, further reducing the risk of loss or fraudulent activity.
  • Reduced Contact: In today’s world, limiting physical interaction is a welcome benefit. Contactless payment is a more sanitary way to pay, as you simply hold your card or device near the reader without physically touching the terminal.

How to Get Your New Tap Card

We’re rolling out this exciting technology in a convenient way for all our members:

  • Automatic Replacement: You don’t need to do a thing right now! When your current Trailhead debit or credit card reaches its expiration date, we will automatically send you a new tap card.
  • Request an Early Upgrade: Can’t wait for your card to expire? If you want to start enjoying the benefits of tap-to-pay immediately, you can easily request a new card. Simply call, stop by a branch, or send us a secure message through digital banking requesting a contactless replacement for your existing debit or credit card. We will get your new tap card processed and on its way to you!
