Keep in mind that EIP cards will expire after three years. There are no fees associated with transferring the money from the card to your personal bank account. Once you activate your card, you can get cash or use it anywhere that accepts VISA debit cards. To activate your card, though, you’ll have to give them your Social Security number. The mailer will give you instructions on how to activate the card, but here’s the deal: You can activate your card by calling 1-80 or visiting and clicking on the EIP card link. This card will give you access to your economic impact payment. The envelope will be from “Money Network Cardholder Service.” Inside will be a VISA-branded prepaid card issued by MetaBank.
