Visa® Debit Card
Phineas wants parents and kids alike to know that young members who are 12 years or older could be eligible for an FMCU debit card! Carrying an FMCU debit card is safer than carrying cash and puts parents in control of spending limits.
Report Card Bonus
Phineas encourages student members ages 16 and younger to watch our website, their emails and FMCU's Facebook page in January and June for the time to submit semester report cards with an A or B average for $$$.
