Transfer method availability varies depending on the country and currency. Click on Transfer > Add New Transfer Method to see your options. If your country/region or currency is not listed in the options, it is not supported.

If the Prepaid Card option is available for your program and country, you can request one by following these steps:

  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. Click Request Card > Continue.
  3. Update the mailing address if necessary.
  4. Click Continue > Confirm.

If a card activation fee is defined in your Cardholder Agreement, it will be debited from your Pay Portal balance.

Note: When you open a Prepaid Card account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to reasonably identify you. We may also request proof of identification and proof of address. 

How long does it take for my Prepaid Card to arrive after I request it?

Depending on your location, please allow the following delivery times to receive your Prepaid Card after your request has been approved.

USA, Canada and Europe:
Standard - up to 15 business days
Expedited - up to 3-7 business days

Rest of World:
Standard - up to 6 weeks
Expedited - up to 3 weeks

What should I do if my Prepaid Card doesn't arrive within the normal delivery timeframe?
Please refer to the Support tab at the top of the page for support hours and contact information.
How do I activate my Prepaid Card?

For card activation instructions, please see the Cardholder Agreement.

What are the benefits of using a Prepaid Card?
  • Instantly load your card using your Pay Portal Balance.
  • Make payments in-store, online, or over the phone to merchants (except online gambling sites) bearing the acceptance mark displayed on your card. Please note that some merchants may have a policy to not accept Prepaid Cards. This is a merchant-specific policy.
  • Withdraw cash at millions of ATMs worldwide. Fees may apply, see Cardholder Agreement for details.
  • View your card balance and statement online or on your mobile phone.
How will I get my Prepaid Card’s PIN?

How can I transfer funds to my Prepaid Card?

Once your card is activated:

  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. Click Transfer
  3. On the Transfer Center, click Action > Transfer to Card
How can I view my Prepaid Card balance?
  • Online: Log in to your Pay Portal
  • Phone: Call the number listed on the back of your card and select the option to obtain the card balance.
  • ATM: Consult an ATM (charges may apply. Please see your Cardholder Agreement).
How long does it take for transactions to appear on my Prepaid Card history?

In most cases, your transaction history will be updated immediately after the card processor receives the transaction information.

Not all merchants may immediately submit their card transactions for processing. This may cause a delay in your transactions being displayed on the Pay Portal.

What should I do if I forget my Prepaid Card PIN?

If you forget your PIN, you can reset it using the Reset PIN feature found in your online Pay Portal under the Home tab.

  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. In the Home tab, go to my My Cards.
  3. Click the Action button.
  4. Click the Reset PIN option.
What should I do if my Prepaid Card is lost or stolen?

Please call customer support immediately so it can be suspended or disabled and replaced.

What should I know about using my Prepaid Card at gas stations, hotels, and other merchants?

When you swipe or insert your Prepaid Card at a gas station pump, the gas station will place a pre-authorized hold of up to $125.00 USD or more on your card prior to you filling up.

The actual amount purchased will be processed on the card at a later time, but the initial hold may last for 8 days before being released, minus the amount of gas that was purchased.

During the time that the hold is in effect, the funds being held will be unavailable for you to use.

When the transaction settles, you will only be charged for the amount of gas purchased.

To avoid pre-authorized holds, we recommend pre-paying inside the gas station so you can specify the exact amount of gas you wish to purchase.

Some other merchants may have similar practices and even longer maximum pre-authorization timeframes:

  • Hotels and cruise lines (up to 30 days)
  • Vehicle rental agencies (up to 60 days)
  • Financial institutions (up to 10 days)

 

What do I do if I don't recognize a merchant listed on my transaction history?

Some merchants may bill under a legal name which differs from their operating name or bill from a state / region that is different from where the purchase was made.

If you have questions about a transaction, please contact the merchant directly.

What do I do if I believe a transaction is fraudulent or incorrect?

If you believe a Prepaid Card transaction has been posted to your account in error, a dispute can be submitted to the issuing bank within 60 days of the date that the purchase appears on your transaction history.

If you suspect fraudulent activity, contact customer support immediately so the card can be disabled and replaced.

How do I submit a Prepaid Card dispute?

Your Prepaid Card’s issuing bank is displayed on the back of the card. To submit a dispute, download the corresponding dispute form listed below and follow the instructions on the form:

The Bancorp Bank, N.A.Visa ® Prepaid Card

Pathward/PACE Visa/Mastercard Prepaid Card

Disputes must be submitted within 60 calendar days of when the charge posts to the account.

What happens after I submit my Prepaid Card dispute?

After your dispute is received, we will investigate the discrepancy in question based off the information you have provided us; however, we may need to contact the merchant for more information about the disputed transaction(s).

If more information is needed, we may contact you by mail. We process disputes according to billing error procedures that are governed by federal law and outlined in your Cardholder Agreement.

When your investigation is completed, if we find that a discrepancy did occur, the funds should be returned to you within 45 - 60 days.

Why is a transaction still outstanding?

It means that the transaction is pending and has not been cleared by the merchant. Pending transactions are usually cleared shortly after a purchase is made.

These transactions cannot be disputed, however, the merchant may be able to settle the funds early if necessary documentation is submitted.

What is mobile wallet tokenization?

Mobile wallet apps allow you to securely store payment information like credit, debit, and Prepaid Card numbers on your mobile device.

Tokenization is a data security feature that replaces your real card number with an anonymous account “token” at the point of sale. When you make a purchase, the merchant uses this token – not your card number – to verify and process your payment.

Together, a mobile wallet with tokenization technology gives you a fast, safe, and convenient alternative to using your physical card when shopping in-store or online.

Are mobile wallets safe to use?

Yes. In fact, mobile wallets are more secure than physical cards. Using a mobile wallet reduces the risk of fraud by allowing you to take advantage of your device’s password and biometric authentication features like fingerprint and iris scanners. Tokenization provides the additional benefit of masking your card number so that even the merchant you’re paying is not able to see it.

Which cards are eligible?

USD Prepaid Cards issued by Pathward, N.A. or The Bancorp Bank, N.A.

How do I keep my device and card details secure?

  • Use your device’s additional security options. Create a lock-screen PIN and setup fingerprint or iris recognition if available.
  • If your device supports fingerprint recognition, only register your own fingerprint and do not allow anyone else to add theirs.
  • Never leave your device unattended in public.
  • Be wary of unsolicited messages asking you to reveal personal or financial information, and those that request permission to access or install software on your device.
  • If your device is lost, stolen, or compromised, contact customer support immediately so we can assist with suspending or disabling and replacing the card registered on your mobile wallet.
  • If available, sign up for your device’s “Find My” service. This will allow you to locate, lock, and remotely wipe sensitive data from your device if it is lost or stolen.

What’s the difference between Samsung Pay & Google Pay?

Google Pay uses Near Field Communication (NFC) technology to make contactless payments using your mobile device. This “tap to pay” service is limited to merchants with NFC-enabled payment terminals. In order to accept Google Pay for in-store purchases, merchants may be required to upgrade their payment terminals to accept devices with NFC capabilities.

Samsung Pay takes advantage of both NFC and Magnetic Secure Transmission (MST) technology. MST allows you to use the mobile wallet’s “tap to pay” functionality at almost any payment terminal in the world that accepts debit or credit cards.

How will mobile wallet transactions appear on my card statement?

All purchases processed on a mobile wallet will appear on your Pay Portal transaction history just like any other point-of-sale transaction.

How do I return an item purchased using a mobile wallet?

You'll need your store receipt, just like you would for any other purchase. If the merchant asks you to swipe or provide the original payment method so they can process a refund, simply hold the back of your phone up against the contactless payment terminal.

Can I use my mobile wallet to pay in-store internationally?

Yes. You can use your mobile wallet internationally almost anywhere contactless payments are accepted. Foreign exchange or other fees may apply. Please see your Cardholder Agreement for details.

I was sent a One-Time Passcode (OTP) when registering my card on a mobile wallet. What is this and why is it required?

To verify your identity and keep your card details secure, a one-time passcode is sent to you by text message* when registering a payment method on your device. You will be prompted to enter this code during the registration process.

*Standard text messaging and/or data rates from your wireless service provider may apply.

If you have questions about Your Account information or other Personal Data, please contact privacyofficer@hyperwallet.com.
How do I spot a phishing email/website, or fake, fraudulent communications pretending to be Hyperwallet?

A Hyperwallet communication will never:

  • Ask payees to click on links that take them to a fake website- A link could look perfectly secure. If you’re on a computer, you can hover the mouse over the link to see the true destination. If unsure, you should not click that link.
  • Contain unknown attachments- You should only open an attachment when you're sure it’s legitimate and secure. Some attachments contain viruses that install themselves when opened.
  • Convey a false sense of urgency- Phishing emails are often alarmists, warning you to update the account immediately. They're hoping victims fall for their sense of urgency and ignore warning signs that the email is fake. 
  • Have Poor Spelling or Grammar- The email uses strange salutations, odd wording, poor grammar or spelling errors.
