How do I activate my Debit Mastercard®?

Activating your Debit Mastercard® can be done very easily at any of our ATMs or by calling 1-800-992-3808. At the ATM simply use the Personal Identification Number (PIN) that was sent to you shortly before or after you received your Debit Mastercard® in the mail and use it to print a “balance inquiry” at any Northwest Community Bank, Collinsville Bank – A Division of Northwest Community Bank or Litchfield Bancorp – A Division of Northwest Community Bank ATMs. While at the ATM, you will also have the option to change the PIN to something different than what was sent to you. If you received a replacement card due to expiration, your existing PIN will continue to work, you will not receive a new one in the mail and activation will be the same as above.
