How can I limit my contact with card terminals?

Mobile Wallet: Limit Your Contact with Card Terminals

During this sensitive time, you may want to limit your contact with card terminals at retail locations. Here at Trademark, we understand and want to help keep you feeling safe. We offer Apple, Samsung, and Google Pay as an easy way to make payments at participating merchants right from your cellphone, without pulling out your debit/credit card or even having to touch a card terminal.

Once you have added/scanned your card to the app, it will request an authorization from Trademark. If you receive a message to contact us, just give us a call and we will happily assist you with completing the process of activating your new contactless pay method.

Apple Pay

How to Use Apple Pay

To pay, just hold your iPhone® near the contactless reader with your finger on Touch ID. You don’t even have to look at the screen to know your payment information was successfully sent. A subtle vibration and beep will let you know. In apps, tap the “Buy with Apple Pay” button, verify your information, and then place your finger on Touch ID to complete the purchase.

Where to use Apple Pay

You can pay anywhere Apple Pay contactless payments are accepted.

Look for one of these symbols at checkout:

Google Pay

How to Use Google Pay in Stores

Forget fumbling through your wallet and handing over a card next time you’re in a store. With Google Pay you can simply unlock your phone, place it near a contactless terminal, and you’re good to go. You don’t even need to open an app. Tap and pay is that fast, that easy.

How to Use Google Pay in Apps

Tired of entering your payment and address details every time you make in-app purchases? Next time just select Google Pay at checkout.

Where to Use Google Pay

Google Pay is accepted at over 2 million stores across the U.S. and is now available in your favorite Android apps. More are being added every day.

Samsung Pay:

How to Use Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay makes transactions easy. Just swipe up to launch the app, secure with authentication (either your fingerprint or passcode) and hover over the card reader to pay. Samsung Pay keeps your payment information separate and doesn’t store or share it, so you can pay without worry. Every transaction is authenticated by your fingerprint, pin number or iris scan. If your phone is lost or stolen, you can remotely lock or erase your Samsung Pay account with Find My Mobile.

Where to Use Samsung Pay

Samsung Pay is accepted almost anywhere you can swipe, insert or tap your card. Using this technology your phone is able to magnetically swipe at terminals as though it were a real card, even if the terminal does not support tap and pay. Look for the Samsung Pay logo at checkout.

Look for these icons at checkout.

Increase Your Social Distancing by Using Plastics

As a result of mandated social distancing it is getting harder and harder to conduct your daily business in the manner you are accustomed to. With the recent Executive Order issued by Governor Janet Mills, most restaurants are closed or strictly doing business on a take-out or delivery basis only. It has come to our attention that many of these establishments are no longer taking cash payments to help reduce contact between their delivery personnel and their customers. It can be expected that businesses will increasingly be requiring payment over the phone using either a debit or credit card. If you do not have a Credit or Debit card, you can reach out to Trademark for whichever you need. We want you to be prepared and have total access to your accounts!

VISA ScoreCardRewards Credit Card

Trademark offers the VISA ScoreCardRewards Credit Card. Every time you use your card you earn valuable Bonus Points These points can be redeemed for exciting merchandise and travel rewards! An application is required for the credit card and we will gladly email or mail you an application the day you reach out to us. Apply Today!

Trademark Debit Card

If you already have a checking account, and would like a debit card, we can print one and get it in the mail to you ASAP, or arrange for you to pick it up at either of our Scarborough or Augusta branch locations. Contact us to enroll for a debit card today!

I follow the Dave Ramsey ‘envelope’ style of budgeting. How do I do this if I don’t have cash to put in each envelope?

I follow the Dave Ramsey ‘envelope’ style of budgeting.

The envelope style of budgeting has been found to be very effective for many people to manage their spending. There are a few ways that you can accomplish this without physically getting cash and placing it in each envelope. One alternative, is to set up accounts that represent each envelope. Under your current account number, you can set up as many sub accounts as you would like, just let us know! Once they are open (which can be done remotely), you can name the account for the purpose – for example: Car Insurance or Electric Bill.

Each payday, you can go online or call us to transfer the appropriate amount to each online ‘envelope’, or we can set up automatic transfers, whatever you are most comfortable with. When the bill is due, you can set up a bill payment online to be sent directly to each merchant or transfer the money to your checking account and write a check.

This is just one example of how you can still follow the envelope technique; we can tailor the solution to you so give us a call or email and we are happy help!
