Prepaid Debit Card
Your Participant Payments card is a reloadable prepaid card that you can start using right away. It is free to use your card at places likes stores, restaurants, or hotels.
Do not throw this card away after use.
Each time you are paid, more money will be added to the card.
Preauthorized Merchant Holds
Like any debit card, your purchase might be declined even when there’s enough money on your card for that amount. Some businesses (such as restaurants, hotels, gas stations, and rental car agencies) require a hold for an amount larger than the purchase price to cover tips or other charges. After the final payment is received, this hold will be removed. If the purchase amount plus the hold amount is bigger than the amount on the card, the purchase will be declined.
Benefits of an account
- Get cash from an ATM
- Request cash back on a store purchase
- Check your card balance online for free
- Keep more than $1,000 on your card
Account Registration
If you’re going to receive more than one payment on your card, consider setting up a free Participant Payments account at forte.hyperwallet.com. If you register your card, you can get cash at an ATM. You can also have more money loaded on the card. (Unregistered accounts can have up to $1,000. With an account, you can keep up to $10,000 on the card).
NOTE: Payments that cause your balance to go over the $1,000 limit will be put on hold until either you register the card or your card balance drops below $1,000.
How do I create an account?
If you gave an email address when you got your card, check your email for a message with the subject line “Welcome your name to Nimblify”. Click the link in the email, and follow the steps to create an account and a PIN. From there, you can check your balance at any time.
