In preparation for the busy holiday season, we thought it would be fun to 'shock and awe' two lucky customers with a chance to win $500. How do they win $500? They simply needed to use their debit card in the month of November for every purchase. The more times they used their card the better chance they had to win!

The tree is up, the lights are hung, and the wish list is set. Now all that is left to do is enjoy the holidays with family and loved ones. If you are like many of us you will probably be “on the road” this holiday season. Along with the many things on your pre-travel checklist, be sure and add “call Astra Bank” as one of the line items. Why? Because we want to make sure your debit card works for all of your travel purchases.
