Let's dive into walking you through everything you need to know about activating your Moniepoint debit card without stress.
How to Activate Moniepoint ATM Card
Activating Moniepoint ATM cards can be done in two ways: activation via card sales agent and through the Moniepoint banking app. Let's break it down.
Card Sales Agents
Moniepoint card sales agents are authorized debit card dealers responsible for helping customers request, distribute, and sometimes guide them through the activation of Moniepoint ATM cards. They're usually Moniepoint agents who already operate Moniepoint POS terminals.
They act as intermediaries between Moniepoint and the end-user, especially for people who prefer face-to-face service rather than ordering cards solely through the app. If you prefer to activate your ATM card via a card sales agent, then follow these steps:
- First of all, you don't need to order an ATM card on the Moniepoint app.
- Just visit any Moniepoint agent near you and ask if the agent can issue or assign a debit card to your account.
- If the agent has become a card sales agent, then he or she will assist you with card applications.
- The card will be assigned and activated through their Moniepoint agent portal.
- Your Moniepoint account number will be required to assign the card.
- An OTP code will be sent to your Moniepoint account number. Confirm the code, and the agent will ask you to set up your PIN.
- Enter your preferred 4-digit PIN.
- The agent will complete the activation using their business PIN, and the card will be assigned and activated for your Moniepoint account.
- Upon activation, a card issuance fee of N1,000 will be deducted from your Moniepoint account.
- No additional charge or fee is added, not even from the card sales agent.
In-app Activation
Activating your Moniepoint ATM card via the app is another simple method to start using the debit card for transactions. However, it's important to note that this method requires you to request a Moniepoint debit card via your account, and when the card arrives, you can also log in to your account to activate it.
Follow these steps to successfully activate your Moniepoint ATM Card:
- Log in to your Moniepoint account and go to the "Card" section where you requested the debit card.
- In the "Card" section, you'll see "Pending Activation"; tap on the "View Details" button around it to expand the section.
- Now, tap the "Activate Card" icon you see to begin the card activation process.
- Tap "I've received my card" and enter the activation code that comes with the debit card.
- You can also scan the QR code available on the card to activate the debit card.
- Both the activation code and QR code are provided on the letter that comes with the card envelope.
- Next, you'll need to set your ATM card PIN. Input your card PIN and confirm your card PIN.
- Lastly, you'll need to authorize your activation using your Moniepoint transaction PIN.
Once you're done, you can begin to use your Moniepoint ATM card to withdraw at the ATM, make payments at POS, and carry out web transactions on naira-accepted platforms like Netflix, YouTube Premium, Spotify, Apple Music, and so on.
