Get Rewarded

Buzz Points is UMassFive’s debit card rewards program designed to reward you for shopping local. This free optional feature of your UMassFive checking account integrates directly with your debit card. With Buzz Points activated, you’ll earn points with every swipe of your debit card, no matter where you shop. Those points can then be redeemed for discounts at your favorite merchants, or as charitable donations to local organizations like food pantries. Want to see your points add up faster? Buzz Points rewards shopping at local businesses with bonus points!

Go Digital

Add your purple debit card to your mobile wallet and keep your card a touch away for easy shopping and checkout. Your debit card can be added to your compatible smartphone or watch for the use of Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Garmin Pay, and Fitbit Pay. Once added, you can use your device to make a purchase in stores and on thousands of apps online. Be sure to make your UMassFive “top of wallet” once active.

Enhance Your Savings

Introducing our new debit card Round Up feature. Looking for a way to boost your savings? Our debit card can help with that, too! With our new Round Up feature, you can automatically transfer the change from a purchase from your checking account to your savings account. For example: a $19.76 purchase would trigger a $0.24 transfer to your savings. To set up this feature, please message us through the Online Banking message center, give us a call, or visit a branch. If you would like assistance, we’d be happy to help you set up any of these convenient features—after all, we’re always focused on helping make your life just a bit easier.
