FAQs

Yes. Republic Bank is an FDIC Insured Bank.

The FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) is an independent agency of the United States government that protects bank depositors against the loss of their insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. FDIC insurance is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government.

FDIC deposit insurance protects bank customers if an FDIC-insured depository institution fails. Bank customers don’t need to purchase deposit insurance; it is automatic for any deposit account opened at an FDIC-insured bank. Deposits are insured up to at least $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category.

Deposit insurance is calculated dollar-for-dollar, principal plus any interest accrued or due to the depositor, through the date of default. For example, if a customer had a CD account in her name alone with a principal balance of $195,000 and $3,000 in accrued interest, the full $198,000 would be insured.

What fees are associated with my gift card? 
As a Republic Bank customer, there are no purchase fees, usage fee or inactivity fees associated with your gift card. The only fee associated with your gift card is for the replacement of a lost or stolen card.  

When does my gift card expire? 
The expiration date is on the front of your gift card in month/year format. If your card has expired and there are still funds available, contact 1.866.913.0886 for a replacement card. There is no fee to replace an expired card. 

What should I do with my gift card when the value is depleted? 
Destroy the card (Before destroying the card, make sure that you won’t need the card in the future for store returns.). The value is limited only to the original amount of money placed on the card.   

What if I need to return an item purchased with my gift card? 
No problem. Depending on the merchant, refunds may be credited to your card or issued as a store credit or as cash.   

What if the purchase price is greater than the value on my gift card? 
Spending is limited to your card balance. If you wish to make a purchase greater than the balance, you can use a second payment method – cash, check or credit card – to cover the difference. Simply advise the cashier in advance which method you would be using.   

What if my purchase is denied? 
Your gift card balance is probably less than the purchase price. Ask the merchant to deduct the specific amount remaining on your card and then use a second form of payment for the purchase balance. At gas stations, tell the attendant how much gas (in dollars) you would like and give your card to the attendant to process. At restaurants or other “tip-oriented” places, make sure your card balance is enough to cover the bill plus the 20%. When authorizing purchases, most restaurants will factor an automatic tip.
