  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Contactless - tap to pay
  • My Card Rules - manage alerts and limits in the OakStar mobile app

If you opened a new OakStar Bank account and received a debit card at account opening OR if you received a new OakStar Bank debit card (with a new card number) after February 17th, 2023, you will not be receiving a new debit card and will continue to have the current OakStar Bank debit card design and functionality.
