Are you constantly asking your dad for your allowance or money on the go?  Make it easier on yourself and your dad and tell him about Facecard.  With Facecard, he can send you money online from anywhere, anytime and that money will be available on your Facecard instantly. This will save him from making a trip to the ATM or mailing a check. Best of all, he will never have to worry about you getting stranded without money in an emergency situation.

So for this Father’s Day, give your dad something with lasting value – the peace of mind that you have chosen to spend responsibly with Facecard.

Facecard: The perfect solution for roommates

May 20th, 2010

We have had several card members write in to say that Facecard has made it extremely easy for them to split bills and other expenses with their roommates. We love hearing stories like this and wanted to share with the entire Facecard community.

Here’s how to easily pay back roommates and friends:

Step 1: Log into your Facecard account, go to “Give Money”, and search for your friend using their email address or last name.

Step 2: Tell us how much you would like to transfer.

Step 3: Verify that the recipient and amount are correct, click submit, and your money is instantly sent.

It’s that easy! Try it for yourself.

If your roommate does not have a Facecard, tell him/her to sign up for one using your personal referral link and you’ll receive $10. Read more about our Refer a Friend program here.

Load your Facecard with your credit or debit card for less

May 17th, 2010

One of our key values is “Members First.” With this value in mind, we made the decision to lower the convenience fees associated with credit/debit card loading. While we offer free loading options (as listed below), funds are immediately available with credit/debit card loading which has its obvious benefits.

The new convenience fees are as follows:

Load Amount Credit or Debit Card Fee
$0.01 – $50.00 $1.50
$50.01 – $100.00 $2.50
$100.01 and above 2.50%

Other loading options include:

Bank Account: FREE Loading your Facecard from your bank account is easy and not to mention free. There’s a one-time fee of $2.50 to register your bank account, but every single transfer thereafter is completely free. You can even schedule deposits from your bank account on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. We’ve found that this feature is great for allowances and budgeting. Click here to learn how to schedule bank transfers.

Direct Deposit: FREE Sign up for direct deposit and not only will you make payday easier on yourself but we’ll also waive your monthly membership fee – that’s a savings of $36 per year!
