How old do I need to be to open an Everyday Checking acccount and have a Legacy Debit Card?

You can be as young as 13 years old! You must have a joint owner if you are under 18 years old. The joint owner does not have to be a Legacy member.

How many ATMs accept the Legacy Debit Card?

You can get cash at more than 40,000+ fee-free ATMs via the MoneyPass Network. Otherwise, out-of-network ATM withdrawal fees may apply.

If you have an Engage Checking Account, ATM fees will be refunded up to $6/month when qualifications are met.

What if my Legacy Debit Card is lost, stolen, or misplaced?

If you have misplaced your debit card, you can "freeze" your card in the Legacy Card Control App until found.

If you need to report and replace a lost or stolen debit card please contact:
(800)-910-4801 or 1-800-847-2911

How can I get paid up to two days early?

You can get paid up to two days early with every direct deposit. Early access to direct deposit funds depends on the timing of the submission of the payment file from the payer. We generally make these funds available on the day the payment file is received, which may be up to two days earlier than the scheduled payment dates.
