Chip-enabled TCF Debit Cards

When you see payment terminals with the universal contactless symbol, Contactless pay symbol tap your card and follow the directions to complete the transaction.

If the payment terminal is chip-enabled: 

  1. Insert the card, face up with the chip end first, into the terminal.
  2. Leave the card in the payment terminal during the entire transaction.
  3. Follow the instructions on the screen and sign or enter your PIN if needed. Be sure to remove your card when the transaction is complete.
For merchants without chip-enabled payment terminals, swipe your card as usual. Chip technology won't be used to process the transaction.

Your chip-enabled card can be used anywhere Visa cards are accepted in the U.S. and around the world. If a merchant has a chip-enabled payment terminal, you will insert your card during the transaction. In the U.S., you will still be able to swipe your card to make your payment if a merchant has a regular payment terminal. You will need a PIN to be able to make a transaction at an ATM.

You can get a chip-enabled debit card instantly at any branch or by calling 1-800-823-2265 (1-800-343-6145 TTY). If you open an account online, your card will be mailed to you. Once it arrives, be sure to activate it and sign the back.

Yes, you can use your chip-enabled card to make purchases everywhere Visa is accepted, but chip technology isn’t used during these types of transactions.

Yes. Depending on the type of ATM, you might be able to tap your card or you might be prompted to insert your card. Leave the card in the ATM until the transaction is complete and the card is released. Then remove your card and any money you might have withdrawn.

If your debit card is lost, log in to digital banking, select My debit cards and move your setting for the lost debit card to locked. If you find your card, log in and move your setting to unlocked.

If your debit card is stolen, call us as soon as possible at 1-800-823-2265 (TTY 1-800-343-6145) so we can help you get a new card.

No. Chip cards won't prevent the types of data breaches that have hit some merchants, but they do make it difficult for fraudsters to produce counterfeit cards from the stolen data.

Merchants may offer a cash back option if you enter your PIN to complete the debit transaction. Select debit as your payment type, enter your PIN and follow the instructions on the merchant’s payment terminal to receive cash back.

Remember, not all merchants provide a cash back option. 

You may have more than one contactless payment card in your wallet. For example, some transit cards have contactless capabilities. When you use a contactless card for payment, be sure to remove that card from your wallet and hold it directly in front of the payment terminal to ensure the right card is charged. Waving your wallet at the terminal could result in the wrong card being charged.

Tips to Avoid Being a Victim of Wire Fraud
  • Never wire money to people you don’t know, regardless of how convincing or enticing their story may be.
  • If you’re being pressed to make a decision or send money fast, it’s probably a sign of a scam.
  • Walk away from any offer from a stranger who asks you to deposit a check into your bank account and instructs you to wire any of that money to someone else, perhaps in another country.
  • Never give out your bank account or debit card numbers in response to an advertisement or an unsolicited call, text message or e-mail.
If you authorize companies or people you pay to make electronic withdrawals directly from your account, they can do so using a nationwide payment network called ACH. The ACH payment network system had a rule change on September 15, 2017 that may have affected your account. The rule change permitted payments to be withdrawn from your account more quickly (as soon as the date you specify for payment). Please make sure you have sufficient available funds in your account on the date you specify for payment to avoid any overdrafts or returned payments.
If you authorize companies or people you pay to make electronic withdrawals directly from your account, they can do so using a nationwide payment network called ACH. You do this by giving them the account and routing numbers for your account and by specifying the date you want to pay. Online bill payments are also paid through the ACH payment network. These electronic payments could be withdrawn from your account as soon as the date you specify for payment. Please make sure you have sufficient available funds in your account on the date you specify for payment to avoid any overdrafts or returned payments.

Bill Pay

To pay your bills online, you must first enroll in TCF digital banking. To add online bill payment to your existing TCF digital banking service:
  1. Log in to digital banking
  2. Select the Pay & Transfer tab
  3. Select the Bill Pay Enrollment option and follow the on-screen instructions
You can pay almost any bill online that is payable in the United States. There is an exception for payments to many government agencies.

Payment timing varies by recipient, because delivery dates are based on how payments are delivered. If your recipient is able to receive electronic payments, it takes about two days to receive your payment. If we have to send a check, it could take up to four days for your recipient to receive your payment. The recipient's lead time, which is the amount of time your recipient requires to process a payment, may also vary.

TCF’s online bill pay tool includes a timeline with a smart calendar, which can help you determine when to schedule a payment based on that recipient’s delivery method and lead time. Once you enter the name of your recipient, the earliest possible “deliver by” date will show.

Please check with your recipient for exact details on how payments are credited.

An e-bill is an electronic version of your paper bill that you can elect to receive directly within digital banking under the Pay & Transfer tab. You can then view your entire bill and pay immediately or schedule future payments directly.  

E-bills are available for many recipients and can be set up for only those recipients you choose. Once you have an e-bill set up for a recipient and start receiving it, your recipient may stop sending you a paper bill. Instead, you’ll receive your e-bill directly within digital banking.  

It typically takes 1-2 billing cycles for you to begin receiving your bill online.

Available Balance

Your available balance is the amount that is available for withdrawal from your account. Generally, your available balance is deposits minus withdrawals, transfers, debit card authorizations and fees. To read the full definition, visit the Terms and Conditions for Checking and Savings Accounts, go to the “General Definitions” section and view “available balance.” 

For more information about how deposits and withdrawals affect your available balance, visit our page about funds availability.

To determine if a transaction exceeds your available balance, TCF uses your available balance at the point in time that we process the transaction for payment against your account. If a check exceeds your available balance, at that time, it is up to TCF's discretion to pay the item or not pay it. If you write a check for more than your available balance, one of several things could happen.
  • TCF can return the check without paying it and charge you a fee. This fee is called a "returned item NSF fee." And the person or company that you wrote the check to – for example, a store or your credit card company – might charge you a "returned check fee" in addition to the fee we charge.
  • Or TCF can pay the check and charge you a fee. This fee is called an "overdraft fee." This fee is the same, regardless of the amount of the check (and could exceed the amount of the check).
Electronic payments from your account, called "ACH," include such things as recurring monthly bill payments or one-time payments that do not involve the use of a debit card. Like checks, it is up to TCF's discretion to pay, or not pay, any electronic payment that exceeds your available balance. In either case, TCF will charge you a fee. However, see the FAQ below for your right to "opt-out."

Debit card transactions work somewhat differently than checks. Once TCF approves ("authorizes") a debit card transaction, it can generally take up to 3 business days for it to reach TCF for payment ("settlement"). So, while your available balance may be enough to cover a transaction when we authorize it, that does not mean it will be enough at the time of settlement. If TCF authorized a transaction, we are required to pay it even though your available balance at settlement may not be enough to cover a transaction.

Here is an example of how that works. Say you have $100 in your account on day 1. That same day you write a check for $40. On day 2, you use your debit card to make a purchase for $80. Because you have enough money in your account at the time of the purchase, TCF authorizes it. Your available balance is now $20. On day 3, the $40 check is presented to TCF for payment, and TCF pays it. Your available balance is now negative by $20, and you incur an overdraft fee. On day 3, your $80 debit card transaction reaches TCF for payment. Because TCF previously authorized the transaction, we are required to pay it. Because your account is still overdrawn, you incur another overdraft fee (provided you have "opted-in", as discussed in the FAQ below).

This can also work the other way around. Say you have $100 in your account on day 1 and use your debit card to make a purchase for $120. Even though the transaction exceeds your available balance, TCF authorizes it (provided you have "opted-in", as discussed in the FAQ below). You do not incur an overdraft fee at this time. On day 2, you make a cash deposit for $30. On day 3, your $120 debit card transaction reaches TCF for payment. Because the transaction is for less than your available balance when it reaches TCF for payment, it does not overdraw your account. If you had not made the deposit, you would have incurred an overdraft fee.

Please note that some transactions using your debit card, such as ATMs and those using your PIN, can reach TCF for payment the same day or in as little as one day.

Initially, your decision is made when you open your account. You can change your election by phone, online, at a branch, by mail or at certain TCF ATMs:

  • Stop by any TCF branch.
  • Log in to digital banking, go to Accounts & Statements, select the account name and choose Update Overdraft Choices.
  • Call the Overdraft Service Election Line at 1-866-823-4472.
  • Write to:

    TCF Bank, Attn Customer Service
    1405 Xenium Lane N, OPS-SD-G
    Plymouth, MN 55441


    The written request should include your name, address, date of request, account number(s) and overdraft decision.
  • Change your election at certain TCF ATMs.

Whatever you decide, you can change your mind later.

Overdraft Services

You “overdraw” your account when you write a check that exceeds your available balance at the time we deduct the payment from your account. You also overdraw your account when you use your debit card for a transaction that exceeds your available balance at the time we deduct the payment from your account.

“Posting” is when TCF processes transactions to your account. “Posting order” is the order in which TCF processes transactions in a given business day.

We post transactions nightly each business day. We first post deposits and incoming transfers that are made before the daily cutoff time. We then post withdrawals and outgoing transfers. Transactions may not be posted in the order in which they occurred. TCF may, at any time in the future, change the posting order on your account. The posting order on your account can affect the amount of overdraft and returned item NSF fees that you pay.

Please refer to the section called “Order of Posting” in TCF’s Terms & Conditions for Checking and Savings Accounts for more information.

While overdrafts provide a benefit in occasional situations and emergencies, you should avoid them and not rely on them as a long-term source of credit. Alternative forms of credit may be less expensive and more suitable for your longer term financial needs. These may include overdraft lines of credit, personal loans, or lines of credit.
TCF charges a fee, called an overdraft fee, when it pays transactions that exceed your available balance. TCF also charges a fee, called a returned item NSF fee, for returning items without paying them. TCF charges the overdraft fee or returned item NSF fee regardless of the amount of the transaction (and the fee could exceed the amount of the transaction).

Federal regulations require banks to get your permission before paying ATM and everyday debit card overdrafts on consumer accounts when charging a fee.*  This is called “opt-in.”

If you opt-in, it is up to TCF’s discretion to authorize or not authorize these transactions. TCF will charge a fee for any transactions resulting in an overdraft. Banks only need your permission once. Your permission is not required separately for each transaction. Opting-in can have benefits, because it gives TCF the option (although we are not required) to approve transactions when your account is unexpectedly low on money, or when you know you will make a deposit later that day. But overdraft fees will apply.

If you do not opt-in, you may avoid unexpected fees on your account. However, TCF will not approve your ATM and everyday debit card transactions if they exceed your available balance at the time of the authorization. You will not be charged a fee for these declined transactions.

* An “everyday” debit card transaction is any one-time, nonrecurring transaction using a debit card. Transactions you authorize in advance using your debit card, such as a monthly bill payment, are not considered everyday transactions. TCF relies on transaction coding provided by the merchant to determine if a transaction is recurring.

You also have the option of telling TCF not to pay overdrafts on your consumer account due to checks, ACH transactions (such as electronic monthly bill payments) and electronic transfers not involving the use of your debit card. This is called “opt-out.”

If you opt-out, TCF will return transactions without paying them if they exceed your available balance. If you do not opt-out, it is up to TCF’s discretion to pay or not pay these transactions.

TCF will charge you a fee for any overdrafts we pay and for any items we return without paying.

Initially, your decision is made when you open your account. You can change your election by phone, online, at a branch, by mail or at certain TCF ATMs:

  • Stop by any TCF branch.

Online Loan Payments

Enroll in TCF’s online payment service to make one-time or recurring payments from a checking account, savings account or with your debit card.

To establish automated monthly loan payments directly from your checking or savings account, call us at 800-832-5363 or email TCFLoanServicing@tcfbank.com for the ACH (Automated Clearing House) Direct Payment Authorization form.  

Contact us at 1-800-TCF-LEND (823-5363) to make an agent-assisted payment.
 
Once enrolled, you will receive email notifications of upcoming payments that you’ve previously scheduled. You’ll also receive emails about any changes to your online payment account. These communications will never request a response.
All borrowers on qualified loan accounts are eligible to use the Online Loan Payment service; however, access requires the primary borrower's account information.

You’ll need your 17-digit loan account number, the primary borrower's Social Security number and ZIP code and a valid e-mail address. Once enrolled, you’ll only need the account login ID and password to access your account.
Enrolling once will allow you to manage all loans that share the same loan identifiers, including primary borrower name and Social Security number.
An error can occur if the loan account number is not entered correctly. Your 17-digit loan account number must be entered without spaces or dashes. 

EXAMPLE: The primary account number located in the information box at the top right of your loan statement is displayed as 0991236123456-2998. This should be entered as 09912361234562998.

Fraudulent Emails, Texts and Social Messages

The term "phishing" comes from the way in which internet scammers "phish" for your personal financial information. This involves sending fraudulent emails, text messages or messages on social media that appear to be from a legitimate company that you recognize and do business with, such as a financial institution, in order to trick you into surrendering private information that can be used to initiate fraudulent transactions or complete an identity theft.

In many cases, the fraudulent email, text or social message will warn you of a serious problem with your account that needs immediate attention, and will threaten to suspend or close your account if your personal information is not updated within a given time frame. The message then directs you to click on a link to a phony website where you are asked to update personal information, such as your Social Security number, passwords, credit card information, bank account numbers and contact information.

Any email, text or social message you receive that appears to be from TCF and requests updated personal information, such as your Social Security number, account number, PIN, or passwords, is fraudulent. The link contained in the message is NOT to TCF Bank's website, even though it may imitate our style and graphics.

If you provide the requested information, you may find yourself a victim of identity theft.

The subject line of the email or topic of the text or social message can vary. Any email claiming to be from TCF Bank that asks for customer information should be forwarded to emailfraud@tcfbank.com immediately. Delete the email after it has been forwarded to us. Any text or social message claiming to be from TCF Bank that asks for customer information should also be deleted. Please call us at 1-800-TCFBANK (823-2265) or 1-800-343-6145 (TTY) to report the suspicious message.

Do not type any information or respond in any way and close the message. If you did respond, call Customer Service immediately.

TCF Bank does not use pop-up messages to request customer information. We will never ask you for your Login ID, Password, or PIN by pop-up message.

One of the newest email scams is the "Account Manager" scam, which offers to let you become an "Account Manager" or "Transfer Agent" for a third party, usually in another country.

Scammers will try to solicit you through an email or web advertisement, offering to let you work from home and be an "Account Manager" or "Money Transfer Agent" for them. In turn, they will let you earn commissions for your trouble and offer to increase your fee the more transfers you complete for them. Money is then transferred out of an unsuspecting person's account and into yours. Then you are asked to send the money to them through Western Union or other funds transfer service provider under the impression that you will keep a percentage of the money they have deposited into your account.

If you agree to become an Account Manager for the scammers, you have no idea where the money is coming from or where it is going. It could be used for a variety of illegal purposes, including terrorism, and you could be prosecuted if caught. Do not believe any emails or web advertisements offering to let you earn money by transferring cash.

If you receive an email or see an advertisement offering to make you an "Account Manager" or "Money Transfer Agent," forward it immediately to your local Secret Service office or the national Financial Crimes Division at 950 H Street, Washington, D.C., 20001 or fax to 202-406-5031.

TCF Bank will never ask you to provide your digital banking login ID or password or any personal information by email, text or social message. Use the following tips for preventing fraud and identity theft:
  • You should be suspicious of any email, text or social message  that appears to be from TCF Bank containing links to websites asking for confidential information.
  • Never provide personal information in response to an unsolicited request, whether it is in an email, text or social message or over the phone. If you believe the request may be legitimate, contact the financial institution yourself using contact information that you have verified. Do not use phone numbers contained in emails, texts or social messages you believe may be fraudulent.
  • Delete emails, texts or social messages  from unknown senders without opening them. Do not open attachments; this may release a virus in your computer to track your personal information.
  • Never send an account number, PIN, or password by email, text or social message .
  • Choose a PIN and password that is known only by you and keep it in a safe place. Consider changing your PIN and password on a regular basis.
  • Review all account statements, including online statements, regularly to verify all charges are correct and to check for any suspicious activity.
  • If you are suspicious of any email, text or social message you receive that appears to be from TCF Bank, call Customer Service immediately.

The fastest way to get a new card is to visit any TCF branch and request an instantly-issued debit card.

If you’re unable to visit a branch, call us at 1-800-TCF-BANK (823-2265) or 1-800-343-6145 (TTY) and ask us to mail you a new card. Standard delivery is free, and you’ll have a new card within 7-10 business days. We also have expedited and rush delivery options available. We can explain details and applicable fees for these options.
