3 Benefits of Using a SCU Debit Mastercard®️ for Summer Fun

Long Island summers are always as charming as they are fun. With endless beaches, sweet treats, and outdoor activities, it’s hard to get bored during the warmer months. Summer is also the perfect time to travel and finally take that long-awaited vacation you’ve been planning. 

Whether you spend your summer on or off the Island, you can expect plenty of expenses and purchases, necessary or not. That’s where the Suffolk Credit Union Debit Mastercard®️ comes in. Here’s why this card is a great companion for your summer fun: 

1. Surcharge-free ATMs 

Though debit cards are convenient, it’s never a bad idea to have cash on hand, especially if you’re visiting a local business that doesn’t take cards, or if you’re giving your waiter a cash tip. With a SCU Debit Mastercard®️, you’ll have access to 70,000+ surcharge free ATMs nationwide, with more than 400 on Long Island alone, making it the perfect payment option whether you’re traveling or staying local.  

2. Mobile Wallet

Forgot your wallet at home? With SCU’s Debit Mastercard®️, you can make purchases with the ease and convenience of your mobile device. Our card integrates with mobile wallets like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Samsung Pay. This allows for secure and convenient payments directly from your smartphone or smartwatch, perfect for traveling light during summer outings. 

3. Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL)

Sometimes window shopping turns into actual shopping, or a hot day in the backyard turns into a Splish Splash trip. Either way, the spontaneity of summer can hurt your wallet, especially if you’re managing a tight budget. Luckily, you’ll have access to Buy Now, Pay Later. With BNPL, you can split qualified purchases into an installment payment plan, so you can pay expenses off gradually rather than all at once.

The Suffolk Credit Union Debit Mastercard®️ offers numerous benefits for summer fun on Long Island, from wide acceptance and enhanced security to mobile wallet integration and BNPL options. As you plan your summer activities, consider the advantages of carrying this card—it’s more than just a payment tool; it’s your ticket to a more enjoyable and secure summer experience.
