If you have any questions about creating a Payment Portal, please visit Pay Portal Help Center or contact Pay Portal for support.

Why am I not receiving emails from Hyperwallet?

Sometimes, legitimate emails can be filtered into your spam or junk folder by mistake. Please search your inbox and spam folder for emails from the following addresses:

  • support@mail.hyperwallet.com
  • do.not.reply@hyperwallet.com
  • notifications@hyperwallet.com

To ensure you don't miss future messages, add these email addresses to your contacts or safe sender list.

Email delivery can sometimes be delayed. If you just requested an email (e.g., a password reset), wait at least 5–10 minutes before trying again.

How do I log in to the Pay Portal?
  1. Enter your Username and Password on the login page.
  2. Click Sign In.
  3. Select the Authentication method of your preference and enter the code provided.
    1. Phone: If your phone number is outdated or incorrect, choose a different authentication method and once logged in, update it under Settings > Profile. Please note that your mobile carrier must have SMS capabilities enabled. Avoid using VoIP numbers (e.g., Google Voice, TextNow), as they may not reliably receive authentication codes.
    2. Email: If your email address is no longer accessible, choose a different authentication method and once logged in, update it under Settings > Preferences > Notifications.
    3. If none of the available authentication options work for you, please contact Support.

  2. Click Settings > Profile
  3. Make the changes.
  4. Click Save

If you are unable to update your information, please contact Pay Portal directly.

What format should I use when entering phone numbers in the system?
Phone numbers should include the plus sign (+) followed by the country code and the phone number—with no spaces, parentheses, or dashes.
Example: Instead of entering a U.S. number as 415-123-4567, it should be formatted as +14151234567.
Note: If the country code is omitted, we'll default to the address country; however, validation may fail if the phone number doesn't match the country.
Can I change the address on my Hyperwallet account to another country?
No. The laws applicable to Hyperwallet accounts differ by country and region. So, you can't change your address to a country that is different from the country you used when you opened your account. If you're moving abroad, you'll need to close your existing account and open a new account.

When your existing account is closed due to a country change:

  • If you have a balance in your account, the balance will need to be transferred to your new account.
  • If your program provides a prepaid card, please note that prepaid cards cannot be transferred. You will need to withdraw or spend down the balance on your existing card. You can then request a new prepaid card through your new account.
How do I change my account password?
  1. Log in to your Pay Portal.
  2. Click Settings > Security
  3. Enter your existing password.
  4. Enter and confirm a new unique password.

  • At least 1 lower case letter

What should I do if I've forgotten my password?

NOTE: You may be required to complete an additional authentication step to verify your identity. If prompted, choose one of the options and follow the on-screen instructions.

  1. Enter and confirm a new unique password.
  2. After successfully resetting your password, a confirmation email will be sent to your email. Click Return to Login Page and use your new password to log in to the Pay Portal.
What is error 104?

Error 104 is a security feature to protect your account from unauthorized users. It may be triggered when:

  • It is the first time using the current internet connection to access your account.
  • You entered the wrong password to log into your account multiple times.
  • The internet connection is locked (for example, public Wi-Fi networks are unsecured and often locked).

Please have your IP Address ready and contact our customer support team so we can verify your internet connection.

  • Phone: Call the number listed on the back of your card and select the option to obtain the card balance.

How long does it take for transactions to appear on my Prepaid Card history?

In most cases, your transaction history will be updated immediately after the card processor receives the transaction information.

Not all merchants may immediately submit their card transactions for processing. This may cause a delay in your transactions being displayed on the Pay Portal.

What should I do if my Prepaid Card is lost or stolen?

Please call customer support immediately so it can be suspended or disabled and replaced.

Why is a transaction still outstanding?

The transaction is pending and has not been cleared by the merchant. The payment is not complete, and the business has not received the money.

These cannot be disputed. If the necessary information is submitted, the merchant may be able to settle the funds early.

What should I know about using my Prepaid Card at gas stations, hotels, and other merchants?

When you pay with your Prepaid Card at a gas station pump, the station will place a pre-authorized hold of up to $125.00 USD or more on your card before you fill up.

The actual amount purchased will be processed on the card at a later time, but the initial hold may last for 8 days before being released, minus the amount of gas that was purchased.

During the time that the hold is in effect, the funds being held will be unavailable for you to use.

When the transaction settles, you will only be charged for the amount of gas purchased.

We recommend paying at the gas station so you can specify the exact amount of gas you wish to purchase. This avoids pre-holds in most cases.

Some other merchants may have similar practices and even longer maximum pre-authorization timeframes:

  • Hotels and cruise lines (up to 30 days)
  • Vehicle rental agencies (up to 60 days)
  • Financial institutions (up to 7 days)
What do I do if I don't recognize a merchant listed on my transaction history?

Some merchants may bill under a legal name which differs from their operating name or bill from a state / region that is different from where the purchase was made.

If you have questions about a transaction, please contact the merchant directly.

What do I do if I believe a transaction is fraudulent or incorrect?

If you think a Prepaid Card purchase was added to your account by mistake, you can ask the bank that issued the card to investigate. You must do this within 60 days of when the purchase shows up on your records.

If you suspect fraudulent activity, contact customer support immediately so the card can be disabled and replaced.

How do I submit a Prepaid Card dispute?

Our Customer Support team will assist in starting a dispute. Please refer to the Support tab at the top of the page for support hours and contact information.

What happens after I submit my Prepaid Card dispute?

We will investigate the discrepancy based on what you have provided. We may need to contact the merchant for more details.

We process disputes according to billing error procedures that are governed by federal law and outlined in your Cardholder Agreement.

Any discrepancy will be refunded to you within 45 to 60 days.

What is mobile wallet tokenization?

Your real card number is used to create a special number called a 'token'. This token is used to check and process your payment. The system uses this token, not your real card number.

A mobile wallet gives you a quick, secure, and easy way to pay. You can use it when shopping in person or online instead of your physical card.


Are mobile wallets safe to use?

Yes. Wallets are safer than physical cards. Using a wallet lowers the risk of fraud because you can use your device's password and eye scanners. Tokenization hides your card number. The store you're paying can't see it.


Which cards are eligible?

USD Prepaid Cards issued by Pathward, N.A. or The Bancorp Bank, N.A.


How do I keep my device and card details secure?

  • Use your device’s additional security options. Create a lock-screen PIN and setup fingerprint or iris recognition if available.
  • Register your own fingerprint on your device. Do not allow anyone to add their fingerprint.
  • Do not leave it where others can see it or take it when you are not watching it.
  • Be careful of messages you did not ask for. They may ask you to share personal, money information or  put software on your phone or computer.
  • If your card is lost or stolen, call our customer support. We can stop using the card and give you a new one.
  • If your device has a 'Find My' service, sign up for it. This will help you find your device if it is lost or stolen. You can lock the device from another location. You can delete any private information on it from another location.


What’s the difference between Samsung Pay & Google Pay?

Google Pay allows you to pay by tapping. This can be used at stores with the right type of payment terminal. Stores may need to update their terminals to accept devices with the special NFC.

Samsung Pay allows you to pay by tapping your phone at payment terminals that accept debit or credit cards.

The tap-to-pay function works on most payment terminals in the world.


How will the payments I make using this service be shown on my card?

What will these payments look like on my card?

Purchases made on a wallet will appear on your Pay Portal history. Like any other transaction you make.


How do I return an item purchased using a mobile wallet?

You'll need the paper from when you bought the item. If the store asks you to swipe your card or use the same way you paid, hold your phone against the payment terminal.


Can I use my mobile wallet to pay in-store internationally?

Yes, you can use your wallet to make payments where accepted. There may be extra fees. You can find more details in the card documentation.


How do you verify that I am the rightful owner of the card?

When you add a new payment method, we will send you a code by text. You will need to enter this code to complete the registration.

*Standard text messaging and/or data rates from your wireless service provider may apply.

Yes. Foreign transactions settle in your card's currency at market or government-mandated exchange rates.*

* Refer to your cardholder agreement for more info about exchange rates and any applicable foreign transaction fees.

What happens if I do not use the Prepaid Card?

  • If the card is not activated within 365 days, it will be closed.
  • If the card is activated, but no activity has occurred on the card for 120 days, you may be charged fees. Your card will be stopped. If the card is stopped, you will need to contact Customer Support to have the card reactivated. Please check your Cardholder Agreement for more information about the fees.
  • If the card exceeds 245 days suspended, it will be closed. Closed cards cannot be re-activated.
  • If your prepaid card has been suspended or closed because you haven't used it in a while, you can contact the card issuer. They will explain the steps you need to take to use the card.
  • If you have a credit or debit card with less than $3 and you haven't used it for 120 days, we will close your card. If you don't use the card for 365 days, it will be closed.
  • If your card is not working or you have money left on a closed card, call the number on the back to get help.
  • If your card is closed due to inactivity, you can ask for a new one. You can do this by signing in to your Pay Portal.
What do I do if my Prepaid Card has been suspended or closed due to inactivity?

Our system will suspend cards with balances of less than $3.00 USD (or equivalent) that have been inactive for 120 days. If your card remains inactive for 365 days and has a balance of less than $3.00 USD (or equivalent), it will be closed.
