Why does it take 3-7 days to get The VITAband Visa Prepaid Chip and Companion Card?
In accordance with federal law and banking regulation, users of regulated prepaid cards, such as the chip used in a VITAband, are required to fill out an application prior to receiving the card. It takes several days to process the application and send out the card. The VITAband user will receive The VITAband Visa Prepaid Chip and Companion Card separately roughly one week after purchasing a VITAband. Upon receipt, The VITAband Visa Prepaid Chip should be placed in the VITAband and can be used to make contactless purchases.
