Your Money When You Need It
Whether you’re buying in person, purchasing online or needing cash from an ATM, our personal ATM and debit cards make it simple. American Bank debit cards are accepted just like a credit card, but funds are drawn from your checking account and post in real time. This means processed transactions will reflect immediately in the available balance of your checking account.
(In the past, debit card transactions could have taken up to two days to show in your account. Some exceptions may still apply.)

Fraud Text Alerts
Fraud Text message alerts will notify you of any debit card activity that we feel may be suspicious. When you order a debit card and receive it, if you have provided us with your cell phone number, we can enroll you in fraud text alerts. You will receive a text message asking you to reply “Yes” if you’d like to be enrolled into this no cost service*, but a bank representative will call you to walk you through the process.
Moving forward, if there is a suspicious transaction on your account, you will receive a text message asking you to verify you are trying to make the purchase. If it is you, all you have to do is respond “Yes,” and the transaction will go through. If it’s not you, then respond “No,” and the transaction will be declined.
If the bank does not have your cell phone number and you’d like to be included in this service, please call us at 920-885-2700, and we’ll enroll you by verifying your identity and registering your cell phone number.
* Message and data rates may apply.
