Questions?
There is no cost to order and activate a Netspend card. Once you activate the card, you may choose from our selection of fee plans. To view the fee plans and other costs associated with using the card, see our fee schedule.
When your card arrives, activate it. Follow the printed activation and identity verification steps that are on the materials that arrive with your card.
You should receive your card approximately 7 to 10 business days after you place your order. If you do not receive your card within 10 business days, call Customer Service at 1-866-387-7363.
Fill out a quick online order form and we’ll ship you a personalized card! There’s no credit check and no upfront fees. To activate the Card Account, you will be required to provide your name, street address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you. We must collect this information in accordance with The USA PATRIOT Act, a Federal law that requires all financial institutions and their third-party service providers to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. Residents of the State of Vermont are ineligible to open a Card Account.
Once your identity is verified and your account is registered, your funds on deposit in your Netspend prepaid, debit and savings accounts are FDIC insured up to $250,000 through your issuing bank ("Issuing Bank"), which is Pathward, N.A., Republic Bank & Trust Company, or The Bancorp Bank, N.A., Members FDIC, subject to certain conditions including regulatory requirements for FDIC pass-through insurance and the aggregation of all funds held on deposit in the same capacity at the Issuing Bank. Pathward, N.A. may place your funds at one or more participating FDIC-insured banks (www.pathward.com/programbanks). FDIC insurance protects against the failure of the Issuing Bank, not the failure of Ouro Global, Inc. ("Ouro"). Ouro, a financial technology company, is not a bank and is not FDIC insured. Your Issuing Bank is identified on the back of your card and in your account agreement.
