Your Client Card accesses funds in your Chequing Account and is used for ABM transactions and debit purchases. The Card includes Visa Debit, which means that in addition to using it for in-store debit purchases, you can use it to pay online and in-app where Visa is accepted. Paying with your Client Card means you’re using money already in your Chequing Account whereas a credit card purchase is done using funds the bank is essentially lending to you, and interest is applied if you don’t pay back that money by your payment due date.
 

If you know your Client Card is lost or stolen, then request a replacement Card. Here’s how:

  1. Click your Chequing Account and select ‘Manage Card’.
  2. Select ‘Replace lost, stolen or damaged Card’ and follow the prompts from there.

If your Client Card is misplaced, you can lock it until it turns up. Here's how:

  1. Log in if you aren’t already and select your Chequing Account.
  2. Click the ‘Manage Card’ button.
  3. Under ‘Actions’ select the ‘Lock or Unlock’ toggle button and follow the prompts from there.

If you’re on a mobile device, log in and select your Chequing Account, then tap the 3 dots in the top right corner of the screen. Then tap ‘Lock Card’ and follow the prompts from there.

 

Your Card can remain locked until 2 months past your expiry date. After this, the Card will automatically be cancelled and you’ll need to order a new one.
 

You won’t pay any fees for your daily chequing transactions using your Visa Debit Client Card in Canada. For other transactions, including international purchases, a fee may apply. View the complete list of Account fees.
