An Advanced Way To Pay

  • Use your card at any merchant that accepts CapEd Debit Cards.
  • Your card can be used at all contactless (tap to pay), chip & non-chip terminals.
  • No added costs or fees.
  • You can use your card Fee Free at any Co-Op Network ATM. Visit Co-op Shared Branches and ATMs for a complete listing.
  • You can change your PIN by calling the PIN change line at 1-877-265-9594.

How To Use Your Card

To use your contactless card, just find the contactless symbol on the card scanner at checkout. Simply hold your contactless card over the checkout terminal and wait for the confirmation of payment. Depending on the merchant, the terminal may make a short noise to indicate a successful payment process, or the screen may simply state, "Payment Approved," or similar language. Your payment is processed in seconds and the same encryption technology as contact-only EMV chip cards keeps your payment secure.

If you prefer to swipe, you don't have to go contactless to use your new contactless card! The contact functionality you're used to inserting or swiping at terminals will still function, so that you can use your card at merchants who haven't upgraded to accept contactless payments.
