How To Block UBA ATM Card

An ATM card, also known as a debit card, is a plastic card that allows you to access your bank account funds. You can use an ATM card to withdraw cash from an ATM, make purchases at point-of-sale (POS) terminals, and transfer funds between accounts. ATM cards typically have a magnetic stripe or chip that contains your account information. When you use an ATM card, you enter your PIN (personal identification number) to verify your identity. The amount of money you withdraw or spend is then deducted from your account balance.

ATM cards are a convenient way to access your money. You can use them 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and you don’t need to wait in line at a bank teller.
