Be very wary of giving your money to the Bank of the Sierra. They will ding your credit, collect private information above and beyond what is usually required, and DENY your application. Customer service is nonexistent and scoffs at any request for help. It appears to me to be a scam. There are banks with better service to deal with and that will not ruin your credit to boot. I agree with the last poster, BEWARE!

Actually, every bank I’ve encountered encourages you to use the debit card as a credit card. That’s because they get a higher fee on credit cards than they do on debit cards. The only time you need to use the card as a debit card is if you want cash back with your purchase or if you’re using an ATM machine.

Your mistaken about signing a debit card purchase 10-12 times per month. malvern federal lets you use the card as a credit card, no signature required. Also, most retail outlets do not require signatures anyway, espcially if the charge is under $25.00.
