We're making changes to our rediCARD facility
With a range of enhanced payment options available and a decline in popularity, our rediCARD provider has decided to stop production. This means we will be removing our rediCARD facility.
The good news is you'll have all the functionality you need with our Visa Debit card - with the added benefit of access to the worldwide Visa network.
I have a rediCARD what does this mean for me?
You will receive a letter or email notification from us that outlines more details about the removal of your rediCARD, your replacement Visa Debit card and when these changes will specifically take place for you.
I’m under 18, what will that mean for me?
We have a range of card controls for members under 18 with a Visa Debit Card. These controls are based on age and will be updated automatically when they age into a new group. If you would like different card controls applied, please contact us.
If the card is a ‘No Access’ card holders won’t be moved into a new card control group.
The below table sets out our age group controls in detail.

It depends how the business has set up their MCC. For example, some businesses like a post office may offer gambling purchases along with other goods. The transaction could be blocked due to the merchant category code being set up as an establishment that offers gambling. Credit Union SA cannot determine what merchant category code the business is set up as and is reliant on the business applying the appropriate category code.
