Green Dot is a leading provider of prepaid debit cards and secured credit cards, and they’re hugely popular thanks to their convenience and simplicity. If you have a new Green Dot card that you need to register, you can easily do so online. For security reasons, Green Dot does not allow you to register your card over the phone.[1]

1
Visit the Green Dot Platinum site to register your secured credit card. A Green Dot Platinum Card is a pre-paid credit card. You fill out an application for the card, which is then sent to you in the mail. You must pay a deposit to secure your line of credit. Go to https://www.greendot.com/for-people/our-products/secured-credit-card to apply for a secured credit card or register a card you've received.[2]
- Generally, the amount of your deposit is the amount of your line of credit. For example, if you deposited $200, you would have a $200 line of credit.
Tip: The Green Dot Platinum card is a real credit card, not a debit card. You still must make monthly payments for charges to the card or pay interest. The money will not be taken out of your deposit.
2
Enter your account number and your personal information. When you click the "Register Card" button, you'll be redirected to the card activation page. You'll need to enter the following information:[3]
- Your account number (the number on the front of your card)
- Your name
- The last 4 digits of your Social Security number
- Your card's expiration date
- The CVC/CVV number on the back of your card
- Your date of birth
- The state where you live
- Your ZIP code

Click "Activate Card" to finish the process. Once your card is activated, you can use it to make purchases anywhere that accepts VISA cards. Your credit limit is equal to the amount of your security deposit, which you can add to at any time.[4]
- Because Green Dot reports your card usage and payments to all 3 major credit bureaus, you can use your Green Dot Platinum card to build credit over time. Keep your card balance low and make your payment on time every month.
- Avoid carrying a balance on your card because you will be charged interest, which will make it harder to pay off as time goes on.

1
Visit https://secure2.greendot.com/enroll/get-started to activate your card online. This is a secure page, meaning any information you send through the site is encrypted and is therefore only able to be used by Green Dot.
2
Enter your card number, expiration date, and CVV. The first page will ask you for the 16-digit card number, which can be found across the front of the card. You will then need to enter the card’s 4-digit expiration date, which is located below the card number, and the CVV, which is the 3-digit security code found on the back of the card.[5]
3
Click the "Next" button to be taken to the next page. If you have entered the card information correctly, you should be taken to a page asking for more information.[6]
- If you receive an error message, check to make sure you entered the numbers correctly. If you continue to receive an error message, call the number on the back of your card.
4
Enter your personal information to finish registering your card. The USA PATRIOT Act requires banks to collect and verify personal information for all account holders. To finish activating your card, you must provide your:[7]
- Name
- Address
- Date of birth
- Mobile phone number
- Social Security number
Tip: Green Dot also has a mobile app you can download and use to activate your card and manage your account.
