How do I use my Vanilla Prepaid Card?
Simply present your Prepaid Card at the time of payment. Press “credit” on the keypad and sign the receipt. As you use your Card, the balance is reduced by the full amount of each purchase including taxes, charges, and other fees, if any. You can use your Prepaid Card to pay the full amount of the purchase and applicable taxes, as long as the balance on the Card is sufficient.
If you want to make a purchase for an amount greater than the remaining balance by using two payment methods, you must notify the merchant before completing the transaction. Not all merchants may accept split transactions. Your Prepaid Card may not be used to pay at the pump at some fuel stations (unless prepaid product is restricted for diesel purchases).
– New Anti-money laundering restrictions in the European Union have placed spending limits on prepaid cards issued outside of EU (Canada):
– Online* and in-person spend in the EU is limited to 50€ per transaction.
– Multiple transactions can be made as long as each one is under 50€.
How can I access my full Vanilla Prepaid Card information?
Log in to your account by visiting the Manage Card page or call the number listed on the back of your Card. Remember, merchants may not be able to check the balance on your card, so it is better to be aware of it before you spend.
