EIP Card
Your Economic Impact Card will come in a plain envelope from “Money Network Cardholder Services” along with important information about the card, instructions for activation, fees, and a note from the U.S. Treasury. The card itself will have the words “VISA” and “DEBIT” on the front and the issuing bank, “MetaBank, N.A.”, on the back and should look like this:

How do I activate my card?

Before you can access your Economic Impact Payment, you will first need to activate your card, either online or by phone. You will receive only one card for your household and the primary cardholder must activate the card.

If you are the primary cardholder:

  • Call 1-800-240-8100 (TTY: 1-800-241-9100).
  • Provide your name, address, and social security number to validate your identity.
  • Create a 4-digit PIN so you can get cash at the ATM. If you forget your PIN, you can call customer service to get a new one.
  • Check the balance to know how much you received.

Once you activate your card, you can start using your card immediately. There is no monthly or inactivity fee and your money does not expire. You do not need to pay this money back and do not have to pay taxes on this money.

How do I check my balance without paying a fee?

There are multiple ways you can check your balance conveniently 24/7 for free, including through push notification, text, or email:

  • Online: visit EIPCard.com  and access your account information (account registration required)
  • By Phone: call 1-800-240-8100 (TTY: 1.800.241.9100) and use the automated voice response system
  • Mobile App: download the Money Network® Mobile App (account registration required)

Tip: If you typically check your card balance at the ATM, try to use one of the free ways above to avoid paying a balance inquiry fee.

How do I use my card to get cash without paying a fee?

There are several ways to get cash from your card without paying a fee.

  • Use one of the In-Network AllPoint brand ATMs to withdraw cash. Use the ATM locator at EIPCard.com  or Money Network® Mobile App to locate one near you. Limits may apply to the amount of cash you are able to withdraw at ATMs.
  • Get cash-back at participating merchants, like grocery and convenience stores. If the merchant allows cash-back during a purchase, select “Debit” on the keypad, enter your 4-digit PIN, select “Yes” to get cash-back, and then enter the amount of cash you would like. Check the merchant’s policies on amount limits.
  • Request a Money Network Check and cash it at select participating check cashing locations. Go to EIPCard.com  to find the nearest participating check cashing locations. To avoid a fee, cash only Money Network Checks and only at participating check cashing locations. Limits may apply.
