Q: What should I do if I lose my debit card?
A: To activate your Coastway Visa Card or ATM/Debit Card, or to report it lost stolen, please dial
1-866-300-8423. You will need the Social Security number and date of birth of the primary account holder. Your Visa account number can be found on your last statement.


Q: Why are my "available funds" different from the balance of my account?
A: When you make a deposit into your account, a "hold" is often placed on the check for one or more days to ensure that the check clears. In the case of purchases, a purchase made with your Visa Debit card often takes several days to appear on your account, however, the funds are set aside almost immediately. This causes the discrepancy between the balance of your account and your "available funds."

Q: Which ATMs can I use with my Coastway ATM/Debit card?
A:You can use any of Coastway's 13 ATMs free of charge. In addition, Coastway is a part of the nationwide SUM Program. That means, anywhere you see the SUM logo on an ATM, you can use your Coastway ATM card free of charge. There are hundreds of SUM ATMs throughout New England, which means you're never too far from your Coastway account.
