FREE Debit Card with Avidia Rewards+**

Avidia Bank debit cards allow you to enjoy the convenience of a credit card, yet pay directly with funds from your checking account. No checks to write; no big credit card bills later on. Plus, with our Avidia Rewards+ program, you can get cash back and earn rewards points virtually every time you use Avidia debit cards. Better yet, if you have both a debit card and a credit card from Avidia, your rewards points go into a single Avidia Rewards+ account, so you can earn points faster while having the flexibility to use either your credit or debit card. You can use your reward points for travel, electronics, gifts, things for your home and much, much more.

Important information about procedures for opening a new account

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
 

What this means to you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents.
