ATM & VISAŽ DebitCards

Using your ATM card* you can conveniently deposit, withdraw or transfer the money in your MWBank checking or savings accounts anytime at any PULSE terminal. Or, use your card to make purchases at many point-of-sale terminals.

The VISAŽ DebitCard* looks like a credit card, but works like a check! With your DebitCard you can pay for purchases directly from your checking account without writing a check. Because it's accepted at over 2 million retail establishments worldwide, it offers greater flexibility to the way you now use your checking account.  With an MWBank DebitCard, you can leave your checkbook at home.

If card is lost or stolen provide this notice by calling MWBank at 1-800-980-9277 during banking hours (8AM - 5 PM Central Time) or 1-800-554-8969 after banking hours.

Check Imaging

Check Imaging is a service that makes checkbook balancing and cancelled check storage easy and plays an important role in your personal financial management.

MWBank Check Imaging replaces individual cancelled checks and deposit slips with electronically created copies in reduced size. These copies are clearly placed, ten per page, on a standard 8 1/2" x 11" laser-printed document. For quick reference, these images are presented in numerical order with the check number, amount, and posting date appearing under each image.

As an MWBank checking account customer, you will receive your Check Imaging records with your monthly statement. These items are pre-punched and ready for you to insert into your personal check Imaging binder. Because Check Imaging records are optically stored images produced as a standard business practice of the Bank, they have been found admissible as legal evidence. We maintain image copies of your checks so you may get a duplicate copy of any check whenever you need one.

Check Safekeeping (Truncation)

As an alternative to receiving Check Imaging records, you may elect to have your cancelled checks truncated. Copies of individual checks can be requested anytime. You can obtain up to three free copies per month.
