Add A Custom Photo To Your Card

Adding a custom photo to your debit card is as easy as uploading a photo to Facebook with CASE Credit Union. Pictures from the family weekend at the beach, your last trip to Paris, or just selfies with friends make great starting points for personalized debit cards.

Ordering a new card with a custom image from CASE’s involves a charge of $15.

After clicking the provided link, a pop-up appears that allows you to upload images and then manipulate them to produce the perfect customization.

Once your image is uploaded, options available with the CASE My Card Creation tool include zooming, cropping, rotating, and flipping.

Not interested in uploading your own image, but still wouldn’t mind an interesting debit card? CASE provides a catalog of stock images that customers may choose from and then customize them using the same tools available with uploaded images.

The credit union reports that you can expect to receive your customized debit card within seven to 10 business days after completing the design process.

If you’re a new CASE customer, you will need to open an account and receive a standard debit card before you can start the customization process.

Your Debit Card Can Double As An ID?

As a way to provide an added layer of security to your debit card, CASE offers Visa customers the opportunity to upload a personal photo, no more than 10 MB and at least 100 x 100 pixels, which is then incorporated into a personalized photo identity debit card.
