Overview

BAHL Debit Cards are a secure and convenient option to do shopping, pay bills, and do more without carrying cash. You can also withdraw money from an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) using your BAHL Debit Card.

Unlike a credit card, the amount is automatically taken from your account, so you must have the balance in your account for your transactions.

Advanced Security for your peace of mind

The small metallic square you see on your new card is what makes it smarter. It uses advanced encryption techniques (Secure chip technology ‘EMV’) to verify your card, adds another layer of security and makes it harder for your card to be misused.
