How does the card work?

Once an application is approved , an email is sent out requesting that you set up a password to access your account and attest that you have requested the card. Once you confirm & sign off, you can login to your account to see the amount you are approved for and 5-7 business days later you will receive the card. You will receive a DDA change form that you will need to send to their processor to add the new FBO (for the benefit of) account to receive the merchant batch and split it the percentage to card and remainder to DDA. Once the first settlement happens and that first percentage hits the card, the card will be activated.
