Hawthorne Credit Union's Visa Check Card allows you access to your checking account without having to write a check - at millions of locations worldwide and online. And it's your ATM card too.
When you open a checking account at Hawthorne you may be eligible to receive your Visa Check Card. You'll want to carry your check card instead of your checkbook, because you'll use your check card instead of writing a check to pay for your purchases. The card is accepted at over 11 million locations worldwide. If you're ever having trouble getting cash with your check card, you can always go to any bank and obtain a cash advance.
It's a better way to keep track of your purchases. Your monthly statement will show a detailed description of every check card purchase you make. That way you'll manage your money better, because you'll know how you're spending it.
You get 6 free transactions per month at any ATM and PIN point of sale transactions are not included in the 6. For example, your PIN purchases at to Aldi, Costco, etc. do not count in your 6 ATM transactions each month. To avoid surcharges at other banks’ ATMs, be sure to locate one of our 57,000 surcharge-free ATMs in the Allpoint, STARsf or Co-op networks with our ATM Locator.
It's your ATM card too. It still works as an ATM card, but it does so much more. It's your ATM card and checkbook in one convenient card. You'll be able to get cash at thousands of ATM's, make deposits, transfer funds, or inquire on a balance at any Star or Cirrus ATM. Plus, you can get cash without paying a surcharge at 20,000 STARsf and Co-op network ATMs throughout Chicagoland and nationwide.

As a not-for-profit financial cooperative, we want our members to know that the credit union incurs a cost when you use your PIN but not when you sign for your purchases. When you help us control costs, we can return the savings toyou in other ways.
All ATM transactions count toward your 6 free transactions each month. A $1.50 fee will be accessed for each ATM transaction over 6.(This fee can be discounted or waived ENTIRELY with our Family Rewards program. Signature transactions will be free and unlimited).
Tell the store's cashier that you want to sign for your purchase, even if you are asked for your PIN. Save your PIN for when you need cash.
