Credit Union SA's new Visa Debit Card design

We're excited to launch our new updated look and feel Visa Debit Card.

The new, sleek, all black card has several upgraded features including recycled material, better accessibility for visually impaired members and increased durability.

You will notice that your card number and member number will now be found on the back of the card, but the new design won’t impact the way you can use your card. You can still access your money wherever and whenever you want. Find more information on Visa Debit Cards.

Benefits of our new card design

The new Visa Debit Card is made up of 82% recycle PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) minimising our impact on the environment with each card.

Our cards continue to be designed, made and manufactured in Australia, helping to support Australian businesses.

The new card design offers more accessibility for anyone who is vision impaired, with a tactile indent located on the bottom of the card. This will help members distinguish between different cards and assist with transactions.

We got rid of the plastic wrapping and opted for a matte satin finish. This option is more durable, making it less likely to peel or get grubby overtime.
