At the time of activation, for your protection and for regulatory purposes, we may request, and you agree to provide, some additional identification verification information such as your home phone number, date of birth, social security number and zip code. We may use this data for a range of purposes, including but not limited to facilitating refunds if your Card is lost or stolen, enhancing usage at merchants that my require zip code authorization, and aiding in collection efforts in the event of a shortage, as defined herein. We will hold your information in confidence in accordance with the section below entitled “Privacy”. If you do not wish to provide the data, or if the data you provide us cannot be appropriated verified, we reserve the right to cancel your Card and reimburse you for the Initial Load Amount.

For security reasons, some countries may be blocked from access. If you are traveling out of the country, contact us before leaving to inquire about which countries and how to enable use.

Please read the following carefully and keep these Terms and Conditions for your records as they set out the Agreement between you and us. You will be deemed to have accepted the Card and the terms of this Agreement if you do any of the following: (a) use the card, or (b) activate the Card.

Please sign the back of your Prepaid Card using your usual signature immediately upon receipt.

You must be a citizen or resident of the U. S., or dependent of a citizen or a resident of the U. S. with a ITIN to purchase the Card. The minimum value that can be prepaid is $50.00.

5. Using Your Card
The Visa Prepaid Card is a reloadable stored-value card. It is not a credit card. This Card is issued by Keesler Federal Credit Union, pursuant to a license from Visa U. S. A., Inc. Your Card allows you to access your prepaid funds at ATMs, which display the Visa brand. You may also use your card at merchants who accept Visa debit cards worldwide. The Card may not be used at some merchants including non-financial money exchange establishments and gambling establishments.

We advise that any person to whom you may give an additional Card should be advised to treat the PIN for that Card in the same manner.

The maximum value credit to the Prepaid Card on issue is limited to $5,000.00 and no more than $5,000.00 can be available for use on the Card at any one time.

Activate your Card online at www.kfcu.org or by calling toll-free, (855) 657-8588. You will be required, for validations purposes, to provide personal information. You will also be given a PIN. You will need your PIN to access cash from ATMs and to use at all merchants abroad equipped with global chip & pin terminals. You may use your Card after activation. If you cannot remember your PIN, you must call the customer support at any time 24/7/365 to hear your PIN.

The Card is non-transferable. The person who purchases the Card is the only person authorized to use the Card. Please do not give your Card to anyone else to use.

You may request up to 4 additional personalized Cards or 2 additional non-personalized Cards when you order your primary Card for any user you authorize, which will have to be separately activated and which can be used in the same way as the Card at ATMs and merchants that accept Visa debit cards. You are responsible for all authorized transactions made with this additional Card.

You may only use the Card when there is a balance available on the Card and only up to the amount left on the Card and any transaction fee due. All use at an ATM or for purchases will be deducted from your Card, including any transaction fees. Any transaction made that exceeds the available balance will be declined. However, there can be times when a Visa merchant puts an item through without prior authorization. If an overdraft occurs, the Cardholder will be required to either reload funds onto the Card or make a payment to Cardholder services to cover the negative amount.

Some Visa merchants may, subject to limits, allow you to use your Card for cash-back on purchases and cash may be advanced at a Visa affiliated financial institution. Cash-back is only available at US Visa merchants with your International Prepaid Card; it is not available at international Visa merchants.

When you use your Card at an automated gas station pump, you will require a minimum of $100 available credit on the Card to enable gas to be dispensed (it may take up to 24 hours before any unused amount is available to spend due to the way in which the transactions are processed). If your available balance is less than this, please pay the attendant in the gas station.

If you use the Card to make a telephone call this can require a minimum credit of $15.00.

If you use your Card to purchase meals or drinks may restaurants and bars factor a tip into the price of up to 20% when pre-authorizing Card purchases but you should only be debited with the actual amount you spend. Hotels and cruise liners operate a similar policy, usually 15%.

Automobile rental businesses likewise add 15% to the rental to allow for any additional expenses and mail order companies often add a similar amount for potential shipping costs although the amount finally debited should be the same as the final bill.

When making a purchase on the phone, by mail or online, the account information you provide must be the same account information as registered for the Card and a difference may lead to a declined authorization.

If you use the Card to buy goods and you want to use some other method of payment for part of the cost please advise the store in advance and use the Card first before paying any balance by other means. We do not guarantee that the establishment will fulfill this request.

Your Card will expire on the date embossed on the front of the Card. If your card is a personalized card, is in good standing and has greater than a $0 balance, it will automatically reissue.

The Card is our property and we may revoke the Card at any time without cause or notice. You must surrender a revoked Card and any Additional Card and you may not use an expired or revoked Card. Upon revocation any amount remaining in your Card account, after deducting all applicable fees, will be returned to you.

You will notify us promptly within a reasonable time if the Card is lost or stolen. A replacement Card will be issued for the balance remaining on the Card at the time it is reported lost or stolen (subject to unauthorized use of the Card as set out below).

We may change the terms of this Agreement or any features of the Card, and we will give you notice of any such change as required by law.

Any entity honoring the Card is required to obtain approval or authorization for any transaction. The balance available for authorizing transactions with the Card is the lesser of your available balance or any dollar limitation disclosed for the transaction being performed. You may use your Card only in the manner and for the purposes authorized by this agreement.

You do not have the right to stop payment on any purchase transaction originated by use of the Card. We are not responsible for any injury to your or to anyone else caused by any goods or services purchased or leased with your Card. If you are entitled to a refund for any reason for goods or services obtained with a Card, you agree to accept credits to your Card in place of cash.

We may suspend your access to your Card if we notice excessive use of your Card or other suspicious or potentially illegal activities. Access will be reinstated once we have notified you, clarified the situation and rectified any problems.

6. Pin Protection
You agree to take all necessary steps to protect your PIN and never disclose your PIN to anyone. For security purposes never write your PIN on the Card and never carry a record of your PIN in your purse or wallet. If you permit someone else to use your Card and you give that person your PIN, we will treat this as if you have authorized this person to use your Card and you will be responsible for any transactions initiated by such person with your Card.

We caution that any person to whom you may give an additional Card should be advised to treat the PIN for that Card in the same manner.

If you have forgotten your PIN, call the customer support number (855) 657-8588 immediately to hear your PIN.

7. For Your Safety When Using an ATM, Please Observe the Following
If the ATM you are using is inside a building, close the entry door completely upon entering. Individuals who have a legitimate need to gain access to an ATM should have an access device. Put withdrawn cash in a secure place before stepping away from the ATM. Be aware of your surroundings. If you believe you are being watched or followed, cancel your transaction, then go to a well-populated area. If necessary, call the local police. Do not write your PIN on or near the Card. Do not give your PIN to anyone else. In case of an emergency, call 911.

8. Card Activity Information
