Badger Bank is thrilled to partner with their community School Districts and offer the Exclusive School Spirit Debit Card. When you tie your Badger Bank checking accounts to a School Spirit Debit Card, your everyday purchases are worth more! All you have to do is use your School Spirit Debit Card for purchases and Badger Bank donates money to your chosen School District of Fort Atkinson, Johnson Creek, Cambridge and Jefferson.
Our schools need our monetary help to adapt to our ever-changing environment. To help your school, all you have to do is open a Badger Bank deposit account and choose your school of choice School Spirit Debit Card. Badger Bank donates $.05 for every credit purchase made on your School Spirit Debit Card. It’s that easy to donate to your school. Badger Bank’s Personal Bankers make it even more stress free with their great service.
New this year are our redesigned Spirit Cards. These have a fresh new look and the contactless chip. We have had some added features to our app that will benefit your daily tracking of your debit card expenses.
