FAQs
No. The PayActiv card is not a credit card, because there is no underwriting involved when issuing the card and no credit or trade line is created when a card is issued.
The main difference is that the Payroll card is issued through employers to disburse employees' paychecks while the Prepaid card is available directly to consumers via our website. The functionality of the cards is essentially the same.
After you apply in the app or online, please allow 5 to 7 business days for the card to arrive in the mail at your place of residence.
You may check your card balance at any time by using the PayActiv mobile app, website (payactiv.com), or by calling our customer service at (877) 747-5862.

1 Many (but not all) employers, government benefits providers, and other originators send direct deposits early with an effective date of 1-4 days later. Beginning with your second direct deposit of at least $5 from the same source, Central Bank of Kansas City (CBKC) will post the funds to your (Program Name) prepaid card when we receive it, rather than on the effective date. This may result in your having access to the funds sooner. The date CBKC receives your direct deposit and the effective date are controlled by the originator.
