How can I activate the virtual card and start using my Beacon Money Account?

Updated this week

You can activate your virtual card as soon as your Beacon Money account is opened β€” even before you arrive in Canada.
​

To activate your virtual card:

  1. Open the My Beacon app.

  2. Tap View Card from the home screen

    OR go to Beacon Money.

  3. Tap the card icon in the top-right corner.

  4. Select Virtual Card.

  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the activation.


Once your virtual card is activated, you can:

  • Send Interac e-Transfers

  • Pay bills through the app

  • Make online and in-store purchases

  • Add your card to Apple Pay or Google Wallet for contactless payments

If you prefer a physical card, you can request one from the same section where you activate your virtual card.


If you need help activating your card, contact [email protected] or reach out through the in-app chat. Our team will be happy to assist you.
