The Blue Elite Visa Card is a reloadable, prepaid debit card issued by MetaBank®. It provides an electronic option for receiving your pay and/or other benefits, as well as transfering money to and from other cardholders in your Elite network. It is not a credit card, but it works similarly to other debit cards.

Once funds are added to the card account, it can be used to make purchases (at stores, online, by phone or mail) and withdraw cash at ATMs, banks or credit unions. You can also send and receive money from people in your Elite network and get cash back with purchases at participating merchants. The money used for purchases, bill payments or cash withdrawals is automatically deducted from your available card balance.

Fill out the brief online form, and you’ll receive your card in the mail. No registration or credit check is required.

You will receive your card in approximately 10 business days. If you do not receive your card, call Customer Service at 877.336.6263.

Make sure to activate your card account right away. Once you receive your card, visit www.myblueelite.com and follow the activation instructions. Or, you can call the Customer Service number listed on the back of the card.

The first payment to your card will depend on your employer's normal direct deposit timelines. Usually it takes 1-2 pay cycles for the direct deposit to be in place. 

There are a number of ways to add money to your card. You can:

• Receive funds from a cardholder in your Elite Network
• Set up direct deposit
• Add cash with one of our reload networks

Your card is part of a large network of ATMs, so you can get cash at your convenience. You can also save a trip to the ATM by getting cash back at the register for no additional charge when you make a debit purchase.

When you pay somewhere tipping is customary, like a sit-down restaurant or a hair salon, up to 20% more than the purchase price may be held until the total with tip, if any, processes.

Hotels and rental car agencies will likely place holds on your funds based on their estimates of your final bill.
