Do I need a PIN?
You may use the card for signature-based purchases without a PIN by choosing Credit when you make a purchase. However, a PIN
must be used for debit card purchases and cash withdrawals at ATMs.
You’ll choose your four-digit PIN when you activate your card. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. Your card may be locked
if you make too many attempts to use it with the wrong PIN.
What are some things I need to keep
in mind when using my card to make
purchases?
Some merchants where you typically tip (i.e., restaurants, hair
salons, etc.) may authorize your transaction for an amount
greater than your purchase to cover tips. Make sure your
balance can cover a tip of 20%.
When purchasing gasoline at a gas station, pay inside with
the cashier to avoid a hold greater than the amount of your
purchase (some ReliaCard programs may not allow you to
pay with your card using the pay-at-the-pump option). The
funds held will not be available for other purchases until the
actual transaction amount clears. Payments made inside
clear for the actual transaction amount immediately. Check
your program materials for additional details. You can check
your balance online, using the ReliaCard Mobile App or by
logging into your account at usbankreliacard.com.
What should I do if I forget my PIN?
You can reset your PIN on the ReliaCard Mobile App.
– Log into your Mobile App
– Go to the three lines in the top left corner
– Click Manage cards
– Click Reset PIN
Your card may be locked after too many attempts using the
wrong PIN.
Can I still get cash if I forget my PIN?
Yes. You can go to any Visa or Mastercard member bank
or credit union and ask the teller for a cash withdrawal.

FAQ | 3
How can I nd the routing and account
numbers associated with my card?
You will not have a routing or account number as the
government agency is the only source that can load funds
to your ReliaCard. Please use Bill Pay or your 16-digit card
number for any purchases.
Can I make a purchase for more than the
amount on my card?
If you need to make a purchase for more than the amount
you have on your card, you will need to use two forms of
payment. Tell the cashier how much you want taken from
the balance on your card — the cashier cannot determine
your available balance. Then, pay the remaining balance
with cash, check, credit card or check card.
Can anyone else view or track my transactions or assist me with my account?
No. For privacy reasons, U.S. Bank does not share card account numbers or transaction details; including bank branches.
However, for reconciliation purposes, your government agency does have access to the amount and date of each load.
If you should need more information about your account, you can log into the ReliaCard Mobile App or the cardholder
website at usbankreliacard.com.
