Why do I need to activate my new card?
Category: Personal | Service: Credit Cards | Updated: April 29th, 2014
Answer:
The activation process is a security measure; it lets us know you have safely received your card. When you call to activate a card, you will be required to verify your identity by answering a few questions. This helps to ensure someone else did not take possession of the card.
