School Spirit Visa® Debit Cards

We've got spirit...and so can you!

Independence Bank School Spirit Debit Cards allow you to represent your local schools and raise money for them each time you use your card. Our School Spirit Debit Cards are now available with our Instant Issue service.  Replace your current debit card, or open a new checking account with IB, and select the participating school you would like to support. Independence Bank will donate up to 5 cents for each transaction you make using your debit card to the school represented on your card. Cardholders will keep their current card number and your School Spirit Debit Card will be activated immediately. This is a great way for Independence Bank and our customers to work together to support our local public-school systems.

Participating Schools:

Big Sandy Pioneers • Belt Huskies • Box Elder Bears • Brockton Warriors • Chinook Sugarbeeters • Choteau Bulldogs • CJI Hawks • CMR High School Rustlers • Conrad Cowboys • Dodson Coyotes • Frazer Bearcubs • Glasgow Scotties • Great Falls High School Bison • Harlem Wildcats • Havre Blue Ponies • Highwood Mountaineers • Hinsdale Raiders • Lustre Lions • Malta Mustangs • Medicine Lake-Froid • Nashua Porcupines • North Star Knights • North Toole County Refiners • Opheim Vikings • Plentywood Wildcats • Poplar Indians • Rocky Boy Stars • Saco Panthers • Scobey Spartans • Shelby Coyotes • Turner Tornadoes • Valier Panthers • Westby-Grenora Thunder • Whitewater Penguins • Wolf Point Wolves 

We are proud to also have Montana State University-Northern and University of Providence as participating schools in our School Spirit Debit Card Program and have the opportunity to give back to a wonderful organization with our KOA Care Camps card.

Debit Card Text Alerts

You’ll know when we know.

Independence Bank offers Text Alerts to notify our debit card customers of suspected fraud. These alerts are immediate, so you will know what’s happening with your account as soon as we know.

When fraud is detected, a text message will be sent to the mobile phone number on file.  If you choose to opt out of this service, you will only receive fraud notifications via a phone call. 

Here is how it works...

1. When fraud is detected, a text will be automatically sent to the number on file. (If you choose to opt out of this service, you will only receive fraud notifications via a phone call.)
2. The text will tell you a suspicious transaction for $X.XX at XXSTOREXX was done at XX:XXpm and ask if you initiated the transaction.
3. If you do not respond in 15 minutes, you will get a phone call and a voicemail message. You have 72 hours to respond.
4. If you respond that you did initiate the transaction, no action will be taken against your card.
5. If you respond that you did NOT initiate the transaction, your debit card will be locked for 24 hours until the bank is able to resolve the issue.
