  • Frequently Asked Questions

    • No, they cannot be given as a gift. You purchase the card for you child's general purpose use.
    • You can check the balance at the website, by contacting your local branch, or by calling customer support at 1.866.901.8090. Since a merchant may not be able to tell how much money is on the card, keeping track of your balance is a sure way to know how much you have to spend.
    • It's a reloadable prepaid Visa debit card, which means you can spend up to the value placed on the card anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. You can shop in stores, online, over the phone, and by mail order. You can get cash at ATM's worldwide. Each time you make a purchase, the amount of that purchase is automatically deducted from the card.
    • 1. To reload a card on the IVR, call 866-901-8090. 2. Enter the 16 digit card number you wish to add funds to. 3. When asked if your name is on the card, choose option 2 for no. 4. Enter the last 4 digits of your social security number (not the child's). Choose option 5 (you must already have a funding account registered on the website). 5.

    • The card can be purchased online by members only for their children's use. The child must be at least 13 years of age, and members are required to provide the child's social to order the card. The first step is registering yourself, after which you can purchase card(s). Be sure to log in if you purchase additional cards for additional children, so they will all be linked under the same account.
    • Lost/stolen cards can be reported using the phone number of 866-901-8090 or to the AFFCU Deposit Admin Department. Cards that need to be replaced due to damage, but are not lost or stolen, will need to be handled by the AFFCU Deposit Admin Department.
