How soon will I receive my card?

    After you open an account, we get started on personalizing your new ONE VIP Visa Debit Card. Your card is usually mailed within one (1) business day after you successfully open your account. It can take 7 to 10 business days for your ONE VIP Visa Debit Card to arrive at your home address.

    You can manage your account via the ONE VIP Mobile App, available through the Google Play™ and Apple App Stores®. In addition, you may visit the cardholder servicing website at Onevip.com or call the servicing phone number on the back of your card.

If I have bad credit can I still get a ONE VIP card?

    We do not require a credit check or minimum credit score for our cardholders to request a ONE VIP Card. We will ask for personal information only to verify your identity to be regulatory requirements.

How old do you have to be to use the card?

    You must be 18 or older to successfully register a ONE VIP Visa Debit Card.

Are there limitations on how the card can be used?

    Yes, the ONE VIP Card cannot be used for gambling. We may also impose restrictions on its use in particular foreign countries out of concern for fraud or safety.

What are the account fees?

Can I use the One VIP Card at an ATM?

    You may use your card to access funds or check your balance at any ATM that shows the Visa or Plus logos. ATM fees may apply for each transaction.

Are my deposits insured by the FDIC?

    ONE VIP account balences are insured up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount of $250,000 through our partner, Stride Bank, N.A., Members FDIC.

Are there any special types of transactions I should know about before I shop?

  • Gas Stations - If you use your card at an automated fuel dispenser (i.e., pay at the pump) it may result in a hold on your funds. To avoid this hold, you may go into the gas station and pay the cashier for your purchase in advance, and specify the exact dollar amount of gas you would like to purchase.
  • Restaurants and Other Merchants - Restaurants, hair salons and some other types of merchants may obtain an authorization on the card for an amount greater than the total service bill to cover any gratuity that may be added. Be sure that the balance on the card is sufficient to cover the cost of the bill plus any anticipated gratuity. If the card is declined, asked the merchant to obtain an authorization for an amount equal to or less than the balance on your card. Pay the difference with another form of payment.
  • Hotels - Hotels may put a hold on your card in the amount of your estimated bill, which will make that amount unavailable for other purchases. The hold may last from the time you check in to a few days after you check out. See the Cardholder Agreement for more information about cancelling hotel reservations or other authorizations on the Card.
  • Auto Rentals - Auto rental establishments may require you to reserve your car with a credit card. They may allow you to use your card for the final payment. Please check with the establishment for their specific procedures.

What if my card is lost or stolen?

    Immediately report the card lost or stolen by calling 866-620-1368. A new card will be requested and the funds will be transferred to your new card. The new card will arrive in approximately 7-10 business days.
