Today we decided to have our debit card replaced. Yup my mom will have her card changed since it's also been disabled.
They're requiring cards to have chips (sim like feature) on the debit card. When I got there they were so many people lining up. Then the teller told me it's the people who are getting their $$ from social security and they're cards have not been replaced either. Some don't have funds.
Even shocking that when it was my turn, they told to just do it online. I was told about that before here but they didn't tell what to check within the website.
I did this today but I hope it goes through.

Unionbank? Card replacement for Unionbank card is to be done online. It took me at least more than a month before I had mine replaced.

@Letranknight2015 I think I had 4 or 5 tries uploading mine before they finally accepted it. I got tired of it so I went to the bank itself but they said "do it online". I almost gave up.

Hello @neelia_lyn I actually hate it now because it wouldn't let my valid ID and current picture through.

It's amazing how many things we can do online these days but there is always the fear that they will steal our information and even our identity. I hope all works out well for you. Have a nice day!

Hello @1hopefulman That's what I'm afraid of and I don't have any other bank to join. And I've been with this bank for a decade now.

@Letranknight2015 It is already done. The bank sent them in the mail to us.

Were you able to make the applications for replacement online? It is easy but you have wait for the text. The text will inform you of when to get it at the branch you input there. I was told recently that all card replacementa requests will have to be done online

That sounds like so much hassle. Doing everything online takes longer and they call it 'convenience'. For whom?

I didn't expect to have so many people on that day @Starmaiden maybe I'll avoid going to the bank that day.
