Learn How to Add Your Cards

With online shopping and auto bill-pay growing rapidly, almost everyone has a card-on-file somewhere. Updating card info when a new card is issued can be tedious and time consuming. Visa® Account Updater (VAU) simplifies this process for you!

When your Visa® debit or credit card expiration date or card number changes, whether it’s lost, stolen or reissued for other reasons, VAU will communicate your new card information directly to the participating merchants that you have authorized to charge your card.

What is Visa® Account Updater? VAU enables the secure electronic exchange of card number and expiration date updates between USSFCU and participating card-on-file (COF) merchants.

VAU is designed to help prevent interruption of your recurring payments and possible service disruptions when your card information changes. We recommend that you notify each merchant of your new debit (check) or credit card number and/or expiration date to ensure your payments continue uninterrupted.

VAU only applies to recurring Visa® debit and credit card payments, and updates are only sent to qualified participating merchants.

What does this service do? The VAU service takes the most recent Visa® card number and expiration date updates in our system and updates this information with merchants that have those specific cards on file. Not all merchants participate in this service.

Benefits of the VAU service:

  • Offers a seamless account update process, eliminating the need for direct action on your part.
  • Helps prevent interruption of your recurring payments and possible service disruptions when your card information changes.
  • Reduces negative experiences caused by declines.

Visa® automatically enrolls USSFCU members in this service. However, you may opt out of this service at any time by contacting Card Services at [email protected] or by calling 888-297-3416.*

Visa® Account Updater is a Visa® service; not a USSFCU service. VAU only applies to recurring Visa debit and credit card payments, and updates are only sent to qualified participating merchants. Not all merchants subscribe to VAU. Contact merchant(s) directly to find out if they participate in Visa® Account Updater.

*Members should not send personal information via email.

Verified by Visa® enrollment is no longer required on our US Senate Federal CU credit cards, but rest assured that your Visa® card transaction is still secure. Your security is important, and therefore we have deployed advanced risk detection technology to monitor transactions which eliminates the need for passwords, allowing you to shop without interruption.

*Other fees may apply. The foreign transaction fee is 1 percent of the transaction amount, which may be billed separately on your account or included in the transaction amount. To view our fee schedule visit ussfcu.org/fees.

All loans are subject to credit approval. Rates and/or credit limits are based on creditworthiness, income, and debts. Not all applicants will be approved.
