Although we strive to have card load payments clear to the cards as soon as possible, it may take 2-4 business days. Our business days run from Monday to Friday. For example: if you make a card load payment on a Thursday, the funds will be put on your card on our before the Tuesday after. Bank holidays may cause an extra delay.
Your US Unlocked Card is issued when the first card load payment clears. The US Unlocked Card is a virtual card which means that you will not receive a plastic card in the mail. All the card details needed to make online payments will show to you in your account on the US Unlocked Card page.
