Designer Debit Cards

Wear your personality on your debit card

With a Simply Free Student account, you can express your unique self with a debit card design that fits your personality — whether you’re into video games, sports, or something a little more quirky, like pineapples. Plus, if you lose your debit card, we can have a new one printed for you on the spot in one of our branches.

The perks of a Simply Free Student account

Anywhere ATM access

We belong to the MoneyPass ATM network, giving you surcharge-free options across the United States (even in Puerto Rico!). Use with your two fee waivers per statement cycle for a completely free ATM experience.2

Instant debit cards

We get it, sometimes debit cards get misplaced. That’s why we’ve made it easy to instantly get a replacement card printed at your local UBT branch — and you can even choose from more than 50 designs.

Automatic savings

Our RoundUp program allows you to round your purchase to the nearest dollar — or an amount you choose — and deposit that automatically into your savings.
