Verified by Visa

Do you feel safe using your Alternatives VISA Debit Card online? If you answered "no," consider signing up with Verified by VISA, VISA's online protection program that guards you against unauthorized online charges. Verified by VISA will protect your card from unauthorized online activity at all participating Verified by VISA merchants.

How does it work?

The next time you shop online with a Verified by VISA merchant, you will enter your Alternatives VISA Debit Card number at checkout. A window will open with a field for you to enter your Verified by VISA security message. This extra step will help you protect your card against theft.

Help us help our community through the Alternatives Venture Fund

NorthStar House - Elliot Martin, Jed Ashton and Lee Hamilton

At NorthStar House, we use as many local, organic vegetables and meats as we can, so you have our word that we will do all we can to help the community grow in the healthiest way possible. Naturally we bank at Alternatives, not only because they share our goals of community development, but they also provide the tools to make those goals a reality. Alternatives has been there for us from the beginning, helping us develop a business plan in the Business CENTS program, and continues to support us as we grow and have new financial needs.
