3. How is my Visa Business Debit Card different from a credit card?
Your Visa Business Debit Card is not a credit card. Purchases are deducted automatically from your Fremont Bank Business Checking Account and detailed on your monthly statement.

4. Can I earn rewards with my Visa Business Debit Card?
Yes. When you enroll in the Visa Rewards Program, you can earn points towards rewards on purchases when you sign the receipt instead of entering your PIN, plus when you make purchases online or over the phone. To earn rewards points all you do is SWIPE, SIGN and GO. You can choose from great travel, merchandise and gift card rewards. And if you have more than one Business Debit Card linked to the same primary business checking account, all enrolled cards earn points towards rewards.

8. What if I have a billing dispute with a merchant?
The first step is always to try and resolve the dispute directly with the merchant. If those efforts fail, then call (800) 359-2265 to make a claim and we will investigate it. Please refer to your current Visa Business Debit Card Agreement for details regarding your responsibility to notify us of disputes within specific timeframes.
