The Card is not connected in any way to any other account. You will not receive any interest on the funds on your Card. The Card will remain the property of the Bank and must be surrendered upon demand.

  • Card Tolerance

  • What is tolerance?

    Tolerance is a temporary added charge when you use your Card to pay for goods or services. Certain merchants may ask the Bank to authorize the transaction in advance (places that typically have added tip or gratuity for the service received). The tolerance amount could account for up to an additional twenty (20%) more of your bill. The Bank will only charge your Card for the correct amount of the final transaction, however, and will release the hold on any excess amount when the transaction finally settles.

  • Where is tolerance included?

    When you use your Card at certain locations, such as restaurants, hotels, other venues, or services that often include a tip or surcharge. Accordingly, you should ensure that the Card has an available balance that is 20% (or more) greater than your total bill prior to using the Card for these types of purchases.

    Example: If your total bill at a restaurant is $50, the card may be preauthorized for $50 + 20%. Although you will only be charged for the actual total that is signed for, you will need an available balance of at least $60 on the card for the transaction to be approved. If your total, after adding in the tolerance amount, exceeds the balance on the card, the transaction will be declined.

  • Can I use my TruCash Visa Prepaid Card to purchase gas?

    When purchasing gas, you may not use the Card at an automated ("pay at the pump") fuel dispenser. Payments must be made inside. For any other question or further inquiries, please contact Customer Service at 1‑800‑624‑6171 (Mon‑Fri: 9AM‑9PM ET).
