HMECU is pleased to announce a new and convenient way to purchase goods in the United States. The ACCEL® Point of Sale (POS) debit network in the United States is now available to all our Members using our MemberCard atm/debit card. The ACCEL® network is one of the largest POS networks in the United States with more than 1 million POS locations across the U.S. at local, regional, and national retail merchants in the network. The majority of the top 100 US retailers use ACCEL®.

The ACCEL® network in the United States works exactly the same way debit card purchases work at home with your MemberCard. Purchases are paid for by swiping your MemberCard at the cash register and then verifying the transaction with your confidential PIN. As an added value to you when travelling within the United States, a cash back option is also available at the majority of merchants.
