How to Apply for a Physical Debit Card?

A debit card provides easy access to your finances and enables you to shop both online and offline. Even though digital banking has grown in popularity throughout recent years physical debit cards remain important for conducting international transactions.

Having a debit card remains critical for managing your present-day financial responsibilities. Digital payment methods continue to gain traction but physical cards deliver essential convenience and security benefits.

Follow this guide to apply for a physical debit card from Jetonbank and learn how to perform transactions worldwide.

What is a Physical Debit Card, and How Does It Work?

A physical debit card enables you to make cashless purchases both offline and online by connecting directly to your bank account funds. The funds from your account are instantly withdrawn when you use your debit card.

Debit cards function like credit cards because they allow you to make purchases without cash. Debit cards remove funds immediately from your bank account balance while credit cards allow you to borrow money up to a certain limit. The amount of your transaction must always remain lower than the available balance in your bank account.

Some key things to know about how a physical debit card works:

  • The card network affiliation enables usage at merchants and ATMs around the world and other locations.
  • To complete a purchase at a physical location you only need to swipe or insert your card followed by entering your PIN code. When making purchases online or by phone you need to enter your card number along with the expiration date and security code since you cannot swipe the card.
  • The merchant's transaction submission time determines whether funds are deducted instantaneously or after a few days from your linked bank account.
  • Your debit card can be used to obtain cash from ATMs aside from making purchases. Small fees apply for ATM withdrawals when using out-of-network machines with many cards.

A physical debit card enables mobile access to your funds by allowing you to make purchases anytime through a quick swipe or dip and online banking transactions.

How Long Does It Take to Receive a Physical Debit Card After Applying?

After Jetonbank approves your debit card application and you make your card order, we target to deliver physical cards within a 5 to 10 business day timeframe. Several factors have the potential to extend delivery times for debit cards.

  • Customers living outside the card shipping country should expect international delivery times to range from 1 to 2 weeks.
  • Orders are processed during business days which means cards dispatched on Friday are likely to reach you during the subsequent week.
  • Extra ID verification requirements can extend production time by 1 to 3 days.
  • Most customers have the option to pay additional fees for express shipping services when they need their card in a shorter time frame. Express delivery can typically reduce delivery time to between 3 and 5 business days.

You can review your order status by logging into your Jetonbank account. Email notifications will alert you when the card begins shipping and when it arrives. Your new physical debit card is ready for use immediately after you receive it.

Can I Get a Physical Debit Card Without a Bank Account?

The standard application process for a debit card requires a bank account linkage but alternative methods exist that enable you to obtain a physical card without holding a full account.

  • Prepaid debit cards allow consumers to buy them upfront by loading money directly onto the card for right away use. Over time reloading requires account verification.
  • Gift cards function as prepaid cards which can only be used at one specific retailer or within a specific product category. Users can operate these cards without needing to create an account but will find them less versatile than other options.
  • Travel money cards serve as reloadable prepaid cards designed for easy foreign exchange transactions. Travel money cards need less account verification compared to regular debit cards.

The strongest choice for secure banking access and spending capabilities remains opening a Jetonbank account. Users can typically open accounts through the entire online process by providing basic verification information. After following the directions from earlier you can easily request a physical debit card.
