Debit cards are the best of cash and credit. With your BS&L Discover® debit card, shopping and banking are convenient and secure. Your card works as an ATM card and as a debit card, which means you can perform savings, checking or money market account transactions at any ATM.

Stay within budget

Using your debit card can help you avoid overspending.

No Interest or Fees

When you use your debit card, you can take comfort in knowing you aren’t paying a penny more than the purchase price and don’t have to worry about the credit card interest and fees racking up additional debt.

Convenience

Your debit card offers the same convenience as a credit card and comes without the hassle or worry of carrying too much cash.

Zero Liability Protection

Did you know that your Personal Discover Debit card comes with Zero Liability on unauthorized purchases? You can shop confidently because this feature protects you against unauthorized card use—including online and mobile purchases.
