What is the Child Support Card?
The Child Support Card is a debit card. Child support payments are transferred electronically into an account from which you can access your money at any Automated Teller Machine (ATM). In addition, the card will carry the Visa® logo, allowing you to make purchases wherever Visa® is accepted. Although the Child Support Card carries the Visa® logo, it is not a credit card. You are using your own money from child support payments deposited on your behalf.
