I just bought a debit card in a store or got a temporary card from my bank. Can MoneyPak reload a debit card that doesn't have a name embossed on it?

MoneyPak cannot be used to reload temporary debit cards, which are debit cards that have not been registered with the card provider (or where registration was attempted, but the prepaid card provider was unable to verify the cardholder’s identity). Temporary debit cards do not have the cardholder’s name embossed on the front of the card.

If you have a new debit card without your name on it, you must register it with your debit card provider in order to reload your debit card with a MoneyPak. Once you get the personalized debit card in the mail (usually within two weeks) and activate it, your personalized debit card will then be ready to accept MoneyPak reloads as long as the card is issued by a participating debit card provider.
