Stand taller with a Heritage Grove Credit Card.
A Heritage Grove VISA® Credit Card provides you with no annual fee, low variable rates, a generous credit limit and no fees for balance transfers. We also offer a Secured card for those with bruised credit. Interested in our current rates? We’ve got you.
Add on our Cash Back Program and get money back on all qualified purchases.
Pack on more purchasing power.
Our cards come with plenty of benefits like:
- No annual fee
- Great low rates depending on credit qualifications
- 25-day grace period on purchases (excluding cash advances)
- No fee for balance transfers
- Contactless for secure, fast checkout experiences

Start off on the right foot.
If you haven’t established a credit score, or your credit score is a little bruised, we have the perfect solution—our VISA® Secured Card. When you deposit money equal to your credit limit into your Heritage Grove Ownership Share account, that money is placed on hold while your card account is open.
Use the card as if it were a regular, unsecured credit card. By making on-time payments every month, you’ll establish a positive credit history and demonstrate the ability to repay in a timely manner, which will help build up your overall credit score.
Let your purchases work for you.
If you use your credit card regularly, switch to our Cash-Back VISA® Credit Card instead and start making some cash. You’ll earn 1.00% to 1.50% cash back on every purchase¹, depending on the accounts you have with Heritage Grove. The cash back deposited directly to your Heritage Grove savings account each month will be based on all purchases made the prior calendar month. There’s no annual fee or maximum on cash back you can receive – so you can earn as much cash back as you like.
You must specifically request to opt-in to the Cash-Back VISA® Credit Card program¹. Contact us to make the switch. You can change your card program once a year (Cash Back or No Rewards Program).

Contactless Card Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why does Heritage Grove only offer contactless cards?
We switched to contactless cards because they offer a safe, fast checkout experience for our members.
2. Are contactless payments secure?
Yes, the security level of a payment using the contactless method is the same as a contact chip card.
3. Can contactless cards be cloned and used by a thief? Do I need a protective sleeve?
Along with the account number, a one-time security code is sent from the card to the payment terminal to identify that transaction. Since the card does not send your name, the 3-digit code on the back of the card or your billing address using the contactless interface, the thief won't have the information needed to conduct payment transactions, either in person, on the phone or online. You do not need a protective sleeve or NFC-blocking wallet.
4. Does contactless technology prevent all fraud from happening?
No. The industry continues to improve technology to protect cardholders, and criminals continue to develop new ways to commit fraud. Contactless and Contact chip cards provide an additional layer of protection when used at contactless-enabled and chip-enabled terminals.
5. Will contactless cards prevent merchant compromises?
Contactless, and chip card, technology provides an additional layer of security, and may help reduce fraud that can result from merchant system compromises, but it will not prevent a compromise from happening to a merchant.
6. Will contactless cards allow my location to be tracked?
No. Contactless card technology is not a locator system. The technology on the card is only for authentication of card data when making a purchase.
7. How does it work?
Contactless cards, or tap to pay, use NFC (near field communication) to securely complete payments at a contactless-enabled merchant terminal, which will have the Contactless Symbol on it.
Hold the card within 1 – 2 inches of the Contactless Symbol on the terminal or directly on the Contactless Symbol until the transaction is complete (1 – 2 seconds).
The terminals read the card the best when it is placed flat over the Contactless Symbol. Tapping the edge or corner of the card to the terminal may not be as effective.
8. Will the card work outside of the United States?
Yes, there are millions of merchant locations around the world that accept contactless payments. Please note that you must notify the credit union prior to travel to ensure your card is not blocked for foreign transactions.
9. Is a PIN required for contactless transactions?
It is possible that a merchant location may require a PIN, but normally this is not the case.
10. Can the Contactless feature be used for online purchases?
No, it is only available for in-person transactions at merchant locations with contactless-enabled terminals.
