How do I activate my new physical card?

This article explains how to activate your physical Airwallex employee card once it has arrived to you. Activation is required before a physical card can be used to transact.

You can activate your card using the Airwallex mobile app or Airwallex website.

Using the Airwallex mobile app

Step 2: Login to your account and navigate to the card you want to activate

Step 3: Follow the prompts to enter your Security Code (CVV) and activate your card

Step 4: You’re now set up to use your Physical Card! In some instances, your Security Code (CVV) and Expiry may have changed, so don’t forget to update any recurring payments with your new card details if needed. 

Using the Airwallex website

Step 1. Login to Airwallex

Step 2. Click on 'Cards' on the left navigation menu (if you are an administrator of the account, you may need to click on 'My Cards')
