This Agreement governs the issuance and use of your Card. By obtaining or using a Card, you agree to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, which is subject to amendment from time to time in accordance with applicable law. Further, you agree that this Agreement is binding on your successors, representatives and assigns.
The Card is and will remain our property. However, you will be solely and completely responsible for the possession, use and control of the Card. You must surrender the Card to us immediately upon request.
You may use your Card to:Some of these services may not be available from us at all times or at all terminals at all times.
You may not use your Card for Internet lottery, betting or gambling transactions, or for any illegal transactions. You also may not use your Card to purchase securities.
If you overdraw the balance on your Card, you are responsible for that amount and must repay it to us.
All transfers are limited to the amount of money available on your Card.
Certain limits exist on the amount which may be withdrawn from ATMs or charged to your Card for purchases each day. The amount of these limits will be disclosed to you in writing when you receive your Card. You may call us at 866-304-2818 if you need any additional information about your limits. During any interruption of an electronic funds transfer service, the dollar amount and frequency may be reduced. There may be additional limitations on the types, frequency, timing and amount of electronic transactions, without notice, for security purposes.
Please note that if you use your Card at an ATM or terminal that is not owned by us, operators of those ATMs or terminals may also impose limitations on the amount, number, or frequency of transactions you may make with your Card.
The balance on your Card is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the maximum amount permitted by law.
THE PRIMARY CARDHOLDER IS THE SOLE OWNER OF ANY AND ALL FUNDS DEPOSITED ONTO THE CARD.
If ownership of the funds on the Card or the right to use the Card becomes in dispute for any reason, we, in our sole discretion, may refuse to authorize transactions or terminate the Card.
When there are sufficient funds available on your Card, we will honor transactions initiated or authorized by you. We may dishonor a transaction when your Card has insufficient funds available. We reserve the right to charge your Card for all transactions you initiate or authorize, even though a negative balance may be created, although we have no obligation to do so. You will be liable for and must immediately correct any negative balance on your Card.
Certain types of merchants, such as restaurants, gas stations, car rental agencies, hotels, cruise lines, beauty and barber shops, health and beauty spas, and taxis/limousines generally obtain an authorization to charge your Card for an amount which may exceed the actual amount of your final purchase.
If the amount of the authorization exceeds the funds remaining on your Card, your transaction may not be honored, even though the funds remaining on your Card are sufficient to cover the actual amount of your purchase. The amount of the authorization will be deducted from your available balance until the completion of the purchase or transaction, or the expiration of the time period set by us for authorizations.
All debits to your Card will be posted in U.S. dollars. Card transactions made in a foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollar amounts by Visa, using the then current currency conversion procedure and rate. Currently, the currency conversion rate is either a wholesale market rate or a government-mandated rate in effect the day before the transaction processing date or the periodic statement posting date.
For each Foreign Transaction, you will be charged a Foreign Transaction fee equal to three percent (3%) of the transaction amount. This Foreign Transaction fee will be included in the amount charged to your Card. The fee will be charged whether or not there is a currency conversion in connection with the Foreign Transaction.
You will not permit another person to have access to your Card or Card related numbers. The Primary Cardholder may request a Card for another person, with a maximum of two (2) such additional Cards per Primary Cardholder, subject to our requirements and prior approval.
If approved, we will provide the Secondary Cardholder with a separate Card linked to the Primary Cardholder’s Card. Any value added to either Card may be accessed by both the Primary Cardholder and any Secondary Cardholder whose Card is linked to the Primary Cardholder’s Card. Secondary Cardholders may use the Card as provided in this Agreement.
The Primary Cardholder agrees that we may process all transactions by any Secondary Cardholder without further inquiry and may deduct all such amounts from the Cards, including any fees. Transactions by Secondary Cardholders will be combined with the Primary Cardholder for purposes of the overall Card transaction limits.

The Primary Cardholder agrees to destroy the Secondary Cardholder’s canceled Card.
The Card will be charged for all transactions by the Secondary Cardholder until we have had a reasonable period of time to respond to the cancellation request, even if the transactions do not appear on the Card until a later time.
Unless otherwise cancelled in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, your Card is valid until the expiration date which appears on your Card.
Unless it appears that no funds have been loaded onto your Card or that your Card has not been used within six (6) months prior to the expiration date on your Card, a new Card will be issued to you with a new expiration date.
If your Card is not renewed or if at any time you want to cancel your Card, and any funds remain on your Card, write to us at PNC Bank c/o Visa Inc., USCS P.O. Box 026098, Miami, FL 33102-6098 for a refund of the remaining funds, less applicable fees and any charges owed to us and any outstanding transactions.
