Fraud Alert: New Debit Card Restrictions

Due to an increase in fraudulent activity in these areas, First Command Bank Debit MasterCards will no longer be able to be used in the following countries:

  • Armenia
  • Brazil
  • Cyprus
  • Honduras
  • Hong Kong
  • Kazakhstan
  • Malaysia
  • Mexico
  • Spain
  • Turkey

If you will be traveling to one of these countries, please contact Customer Care at 888.763.7600 to request the debit card restrictions be lifted during your time of travel.

If your current address of record with First Command Bank indicates that you reside in one of these countries, your debit card will not be restricted.

While we certainly want our customers to enjoy the convenience of our Debit MasterCard, we have determined these steps are necessary at this time to ensure we are doing all we can to protect against the dangers of fraud and identity theft. If you have any questions, please contact Customer Care at 888.763.7600.

2009 1099 Forms are now available.

Primary account holders with eStatements can immediately access your 1099 Forms in OnCommand. Select the Accounts tab and click View Statement. eStatement users will not receive an additional printed form by mail. For primary account holders with paper statements, your 1099 forms were mailed on January 29, 2010.

First Command Bank, in general, does not report interest of less than $10 for a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), so there will be no 1099 form. You can find your 2009 year-to-date interest on your January 2010 statement.
