Sign up for a Debit Card

Now, in addition to receiving disbursements by check or direct deposit, Individual Indian Money (IIM) account holders may have their funds provided to them electronically through automatic transfers to a personal debit card account at Chase Bank, even if they do not have an account at any other financial institution. (If you do have an account at a financial institution already, you should consider direct deposit first.)

Electronic transfer to a Chase debit card account is fast, convenient and safe. There is no risk of checks being misplaced, stolen or lost in the mail. There is no cost to enroll for the service and the funds are immediately available to the account holder. You can use your Chase debit card to make payments or purchases wherever MasterCard® is accepted.

By the end of December 2010, more than 4,200 IIM account holders had signed up for the Chase debit card.

To learn more and find out how easy it is to get a Chase debit card account and receive your funds electronically, contact your Fiduciary Trust Officer or call the Trust Beneficiary Call Center, toll free, at 1-888-678-6836. Click on the links below for additional information.
