A U.S. Bank ATM and Debit Card
Your Bearcat Card is also your key to convenient banking. Northwest has partnered with U.S. Bank to offer students, faculty and staff an opportunity to use their Bearcat Card as their U.S. Bank ATM and PIN-based debit card. To add this functionality to your Bearcat Card, simply sign up for a U.S. Bank checking account at any branch, call us at 800-US BANKS (872-2657) or apply online at usbank.com/northwest. U.S. Bank has made it easy for you to manage your money with the best checking account for students in the country.
Through U.S. Bank, you can use your Bearcat Card at over 1.5 million Interlink point-of-sale locations nationwide. Whether you're at the gas pump or the grocery store, simply swipe your card through the reader, select "debit," and enter your ATM PIN code. After you approve the amount to be paid, the total will be debited from your checking account. Check with your favorite local retailers to find out if they are a part of the Interlink network.
