Instant Card questions? We’ve got answers.

Instant Card works with Apple iOS 13 or greater and smartphones running on Android version 10 or higher.

When used with a mobile wallet, all Instant Card transactions are visible in real time. U.S. Bank Access Online® is the system of record for all transactions. Program administrators can access transaction reporting as settled transactions are available.

While Apple Pay®, Google Wallet™ and mobile wallet acceptance is growing rapidly, it is not yet universally accepted. Consider making an online purchase instead. Instant Card allows the recipient to view the full 16-digit account number as well as the security code.

Instant Card is integrated with Access Online, which has daily reporting capabilities and monthly statements that can be integrated into your corporate expense solutions.

Moving corporate spend from personal cards to virtual corporate cards with pre-set spending and activation limits makes it very difficult to abuse company spend policy. Instant Card allows organizations to set spending limits, block merchant categories codes (MCC), and customize expiration dates specific to a business purpose. Innovative fraud controls and monitoring systems allow U.S. Bank to help protect customers against fraud and misuse.

Yes. The bulk card creation feature allows you to create up to 500 cards at the same time using a file process.
