NorthWinds Gift Cards

You can use it like a credit card, but within strict spending limits. If your card is lost or stolen, you can get a replacement card at minimal cost.

Why Use a NorthWinds Gift Card?

  • It’s versatile. NorthWinds gift cards are accepted everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted in the United States.
  • It prevents identity theft. A gift card is safer to use when shopping online than a credit card or debit card.
  • It’s a great budgeting tool. Some parents give their kids an allowance in the form of monthly gift cards. You can’t “bounce” a gift card, so it’s much harder to overspend.
  • It’s safer than cash. If your card is lost or stolen, we’ll issue a replacement card at minimal cost.
  • It’s online! You can register your card and then check your balance online and more. Click here to get started.

To get your gift card, stop at your nearest NorthWinds branch and talk to one of our representatives today. It’s quick and easy!
