Look for the symbol
MEMBER CARD® debit cards enabled with Interac Flash have the symbol below displayed on the front of the card. If your card doesn’t show the symbol below, it doesn’t have the Interac Flash technology. Please stop by EKC and ask for the Interac Flash replacement MemberCard. Any point-of-sale terminals that accept Interac Flash will have the symbol displayed below on or around the point-of-sale terminal. If you’re unsure, just ask the business if they accept Interac Flash.

How to pay using Interac Flash
At any terminal that accepts Interac Flash, simply follow these steps:
 1. Hold your card no more than 4 cm in front of the terminal
 2. A beep and/or approved message will indicate your transaction is done
 3. The purchase amount will be deducted automatically from your everyday bank account

Your spending limit
For security purposes, we’ve set spending limits for your Interac Flash transactions:

• A single transaction can’t exceed $100
• There is a $200 cumulative daily spending limit.
• When you reach one of these limits you’ll be prompted to insert your debit card and enter your PIN. This is an added layer of protection that confirms you are the legitimate cardholder. Insert your card, enter your PIN, and your Interac Flash limits are reset

It’s a safe way to pay
Interac Flash uses secure chip processing and does not rely on the magnetic stripe on your debit card. Interac Flash provides you with all the security benefits associated with Interac Debit, including protection against skimming, counterfeiting, replay fraud and electronic pickpocketing.

• It uses the latest chip technology
• Exclusive functionality and security unique to Interac Flash protects every transaction
• The Interac Zero Liability Policy protects you from unauthorized transactions*
• Spending limits provide an added layer of protection. When you reach the set spending limit you’re prompted to enter your PIN, which confirms that you are the legitimate cardholder

*Protection applies to losses resulting from circumstances beyond the cardholder’s control. Some conditions apply. Read more about the Interac Zero Liability Policy.
