Learn how to purchase a new RapidFS prepaid card, load funds, and sell back unused balances.
Follow these simple steps to purchase and activate your RapidFS prepaid card.
RapidFS offers several card options to meet different needs. Standard cards are perfect for everyday use, while premium cards offer additional benefits like cash back rewards and lower fees.
RapidFS cards can be purchased through the official RapidFS website or at thousands of retail locations nationwide, including grocery stores, pharmacies, and convenience stores.
Once you receive your card, activate it by visiting the RapidFS website or calling the toll-free number printed on the card. You'll need to provide the card number and security code.
Register your card online to access all features, including balance checking, transaction history, and fraud protection. You'll need to provide basic personal information for identity verification.
Add money to your card through direct deposit, bank transfer, or cash loading at participating retail locations. Most methods make funds available immediately or within 1-2 business days.
If you have remaining funds on your RapidFS card that you no longer need, you can sell back the balance.
Not all RapidFS cards are eligible for balance sell-back. Registered cards that have been active for at least 30 days typically qualify. Gift cards are usually not eligible.
For security purposes, you'll need to verify your identity before selling back your balance. This typically involves providing identification documents and proof of card ownership.
Log into your RapidFS account online or contact customer service to request a balance sell-back. You'll need to specify the amount you wish to sell back.
Select how you'd like to receive your funds. Options typically include direct deposit to a bank account, paper check, or transfer to another RapidFS card.
Processing times vary by payout method. Direct deposits usually take 1-3 business days, while paper checks may take 7-10 business days to arrive.
