The Wiscard also can be used to make withdrawals or deposits and check the balance on a card holder's account.
To use the debit function, the program has to be activated at a UW CU branch or the Wiscard office in the UW Memorial Union, at no additional charge.
As a result of competitive bidding that awarded UW Credit Union the debit card service, the credit union will have to provide on-campus financial education to students, 18 surcharge-free ATMs on campus, and a full-service branch at the south campus union that is under construction.
