Can I use my ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card account before receiving my physical card? What does "pending activation" mean?

Yes! 👍 When you sign up for the ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card account, the digital card is created and we immediately get to work sending you out a physical card via USPS 1st class post. At this time, and until the time that you have received your physical card, your account status is "pending activation". This means:

  1. You can deposit up to $3,000 in funds into your card account.

  2. You can add your digital card to your Apple Wallet or Google Pay Wallet.

  3. You can make purchases by entering the card details at checkouts online or in-store. These details can be found by clicking "View My Card" under the ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card menu.

Once you receive your physical ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card in the mail, you can complete the activation of your account by following these instructions. If you have not received your card within 7-10 business days after enrolment, please contact Cardholder Services at 1 (833) 660-1060.

How do I activate my ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card account?

Once you receive your physical card 7-10 days upon enrolment, you will need to unlock it in order to make in-person purchases. To activate your card:

  1. Login to your mobile app or at app.zayzoon.com/customers/sign_in/

  2. Select the ZayZoon Visa® Prepaid Card menu item

  3. Click the "Activate Card" button and enter the activation code provided

Your employer can then update your payroll information to deposit funds into your account. See below for instructions on where to find these numbers.
