When you receive your card in the mail, simply call the number shown on the sticker on the front of your card or activate it at an ATM. Once the card is activated, remove the sticker and sign the signature panel on the back of the card.
For your personal security, your M&T Debit Card does have limits. While these limits should not affect your average use of the card, there are cash withdrawal and purchase limits in place to prevent excessive usage if an unauthorized individual were to use your card. Please refer to the Electronic Banking Card and Telephone Transaction Disclosure and Agreement you received with your card for more information regarding these limits.
Added benefit: if we notice that your card is being used more frequently than normal, we may request to speak to you at the time you are making a purchase, or we may call you to ensure that your card is not being used fraudulently.
