A Debit Mastercard is similar to a Flash debit card in that it functions the same way for in-person point of sale and ATM transactions (Interac Flash is a payment technology that allows you to make smaller, everyday purchases simply by holding your credit union debit up to an Interac Flash-enabled point-of-sale terminal – no PIN required).

Where a Debit Mastercard is different is, it has the ability to transact on the Mastercard network which supports what’s known as “card-not-present” transactions like online purchases and recurring payments, functioning just like a credit card but transacting directly from your chequing account (if you do not have a chequing account it will draw from your savings account). For example, you can set up your Netflix account to use your Debit Mastercard to make the payments, instead of a credit card.

Creative Arts Financial Interac Flash debit cards are still available to all members.

There are no unique transaction fees or annual fees for having a Debit Mastercard. All standard account and transaction fees apply. Should a trace be required for a Debit Mastercard transaction, the fee may be higher due to increased costs to investigate.

Domestic point of sale transactions will continue to work the same for the Debit Mastercard. International point of sale transactions will be made using the Mastercard network, but transactions themselves will continue to operate the same way. Note that there are additional fees for using the card outside of country.

Debit Mastercard is accepted by international and participating Canadian online merchants that accept Mastercard.
