+Your PIN
The Personal Identification Number (PIN) you created allows you to make debit purchases at point-of-sale (POS) terminals and to withdraw cash from ATMs. Be sure to keep this number safe and never share it with anyone or carry it with your card. There is a $5,000 limit on ATM cash withdrawals and a $5,000 limit on point-of-sale (POS) purchases every 24 hours. However, some ATM owners and operators or merchants may have established daily withdrawal limits and/or per transaction limits that you should verify before making a purchase or withdrawing cash.

Access Your Account
+Make signature-based purchases at no charge
Swipe your ipower®Card in the POS terminal and follow the on-screen prompts.
Select “credit” as the transaction type. Your ipower®Card is not a credit card, so making a signature-based purchase will not impact your credit score. The merchant will ask you to sign a receipt that you should keep with your records. You cannot get cash back when you make a signature-based transaction.
+Make purchases and get cash back
Swipe your ipower®card and follow the on-screen prompts. Then tell the merchant you would like cash back. Limits may apply.
Select “debit” as the transaction type and enter your PIN.
Indicate the cash amount you’d like back. The total — purchase amount plus cash back — will be deducted from your ipower® Card account. Check your receipt for accuracy before you leave the store and keep it with your records.
+Withdraw cash from ATMs
Now you can have a separate savings account linked to your ipower® card. There is no account opening fee or overdraft fees. You will earn interest and can manage the account online. FDIC insured.
