Debit Card Disputes

If you notice unauthorized or incorrect transactions on your debit card, our team is here to help.

Our Debit Card Customer Support Team can assist you with filing a dispute and guide you through the process to help resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Call us at 808-442-9660. Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Before calling, here are a few things to review and prepare:

Here’s what you should know before proceeding with a dispute:

1. Trial Offers

  • Many trial offers automatically sign you up for other services when you accept their terms.
  • If your charge is from a trial offer, do not file a dispute.
  • Contact the merchant directly to request a credit — most will issue one within 30 days.

2. Unrecognized Charges

  • Sometimes the business name on your statement may look different from the name you know.
  • Review your recent purchases before filing a dispute.
  • Common sources of confusion:
    • Pop-up shops
    • Food trucks
    • Farmers markets
    • Craft fairs
    • Mobile payments
    • Person to Person payments
  • Filing a false dispute can lead to serious consequences, including fines, legal action, or losing account privileges.

3. Provisional Credit

  • Once we receive the information we need, we’ll begin your dispute and issue provisional credit within 10 days.
  • Under Regulation E, you may be responsible for the first $50 (or more in some cases).
  • If our investigation shows no error, the provisional credit will be reversed.
  • We’ll contact you if more time is needed, but disputes may take up to 90 days to complete.
I recently applied for a mortgage loan at Wailuku Federal Credit Union. The employees there were very helpful and knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Without their help I would not have been able to purchase my home. I highly recommend seeing them for your financing needs.
