Before you can use your Purple physical card, you’ll need to activate it.

Activate your card

  2. Go to the Card tab.

  3. Tap Activate Card.

  4. Enter the last 4 digits of your physical card.

  5. Set a 4-digit PIN.

  6. Confirm your PIN by re-entering the same 4 digits.

Once completed, your physical card will be active and ready to use.

Good to know

  • You’ll need your PIN for ATM withdrawals and some in-store purchases.

  • After activation, you can also add your card to Apple Pay or Google Pay for easy mobile payments.
