Advantage®

Included with Elite Checking

Protection Beyond the Purchase

Debit Advantage® is included with Frontwave Elite Checking and provides built-in buyer's protection and extended warranty coverage for eligible everyday purchases. Qualifying purchases may receive up to $2,500 per covered claim.1

Because sometimes the expensive part comes after checkout.

Buyer's Protection

For the "Are You Kidding Me?" Moments

The new grill gets damaged during the first cookout. The espresso machine hits the kitchen floor two weeks later. A new purchase gets stolen before you’ve even had time to really enjoy it.

Debit Advantage® helps repair, replace, or reimburse eligible purchases made with Elite Checking for covered theft, accidental breakage, or fire damage during the first 90 days after purchase.

Extended Warranties

Because the Timing Is Always Terrible

Manufacturer warranties are great… until the TV goes black right after coverage ends or the fridge dies full of groceries. Debit Advantage® helps protect against those perfectly timed breakdowns.

On qualifying purchases made through Elite Checking, eligible manufacturer warranties can be doubled for up to an additional year.

How do I protect my purchases?

Use your Frontwave debit card when you buy. Coverage is automatically included for eligible purchases.

How do I file a claim?

Call 1.866.210.0361 or log in to Online or Mobile Banking, navigate to Manage Accounts > Elite Checking, and explore your included Debit Advantage® protections and benefits.
