Debit cards at Verifone POS terminals

Please be advised that some members may have their credit or debit card declined when making purchases at some point of sale terminals. This issue is affecting multiple financial institutions, and is a result of an issue with the merchant's point of sale terminal, not the debit card itself. If you experience an issue with your card, you can:
* Pay through contactless transaction, splitting your transaction in two if necessary
* Enable Google Pay, Samsung Pay, or Apple Pay on your mobile phone.

Learn more about this issue on the Interac website.
