But interest aside, are you making the most of your swipes?

 

In addition to the competitive dividend rate, every UMassFive debit card comes with uChoose Rewards, which gives you the ability to earn cash back on the balance of each and every one of your purchases.** That means your grocery purchases and online shopping are earning cash back, and all of that balance is also earning dividends four times faster than at other local banks. 

In order to receive your uChoose Rewards, you need to enroll in uChoose manually and create a uChoose login to approve linking the rewards to your card. This can be done by accessing the rewards function of your card management in Mobile and Online Banking by tapping on Cards or clicking on My Cards, and following the prompts to enroll your card.
