How do I activate the card I purchased at a store?

You can activate (sometimes referred to as “register”) your temporary GO2bank debit card you purchased at a store by downloading and opening the GO2bank app and tapping 'Activate your card' or going to GO2bank.com/start and following the prompts. You’ll be asked to provide the below info so we can verify your identity, and you will need to create a PIN. We’ll send your chip-enabled card to the home address you provide:

–Your first and last name

– 16-digit debit card number

– Expiration date

– 3-digit security code (found on the back of your card)

– Your Social Security number and date of birth

– Email address

– Mobile number (for future identify verification purposes)

– Home address

Online access and identity verification (including Social Security number) is required to open an account. Mobile number or email address verification and mobile app are required to access all features. Federal law requires a person to be 18 or older to open an account.
