How to activate your credit card

Note: We’re releasing limited quantities of cards over the coming months. Once you join the waitlist in the app, we’ll send you a notification when cards are available, and you can apply. Make sure you have push notifications turned on in your settings to get the notification.

Use the QR code included in the envelope with your Wealthsimple Visa Infinite* Credit Card to start the activation process.

Follow these activation steps with your mobile device:

1. Scan the QR code included in the envelope
2. Tap Activate
3. Your card is activated
4. Tap View my PIN
5. Record your PIN

Your virtual card details will match the CVV and expiry date of the physical card after activation. You'll need to update these details if you have them stored as a payment method somewhere.
