AstroPay Card

You want a safe, secure way to make and accept payments. AstroPay Card is an ideal option. This virtual debit card allows payments and deposits to go through instantly. There's no waiting for a transaction to go through. You never give out your bank account information.

How to Sign Up

AstroPay Card is an app you download to your phone or tablet. It's available in Google Play or Apple's App Store. Once you've installed it, you can set up your account. The only information you have to give is an email, name, password, and country where you live.

After you've completed this step, you'll receive a confirmation email. Clicking that link takes you to the final portion of the registration. You need to fill out your contact information, driver's license number, and date of birth.

Once you've completed that form, you want to add funds. Look at the screen to see what methods are available in your country of residence. These may change periodically, so you should have a couple methods available as a precaution. Some of the current options include 7-Eleven, Sams Club, and Walmart print and pay.

With funds on your card, you'll use the account like you would a debit or credit card. When you go to complete a transaction, enter the card number on your app, the expiration date, and the three-digit CCV. The virtual card is accepted in any online casino, retailer, or store that accepts AstroPay Card.

Pros and Cons of AstroPay

AstroPay Card is available in most countries. As a result, you can set your currency to USD, GBP, Euro, and many others.

The app is secure and allows you to make transactions virtually. It's easy to navigate the app and complete transactions in seconds.

Make sure you understand the rules before you add funds. In the terms of service, it does state that AstroPay Card has the right to charge you fees for every transaction. You'll learn about the fees when you make a transaction. The TOS also states they can add fees at any time by sending you an email notification and have the right to withdraw those fees from your funds if you don't close your account within 30 days of receiving the notice.

They can also close your account if they feel you have more than one account, have issued a chargeback, or have had multiple failed login attempts. If they feel you are using the account for fraudulent or illegal purposes, they may decide to close it. While the company touts higher limits, not that the TOS states they can decide to limit the size of transactions at their disposal.

If you do not use funds in your account by the expiration date (12 months from the date you add funds), AstroPay Card states they retain the funds and do not issue refunds.

Our Bottom Line

You should be sure you read the full terms of service before you add funds and finalize your account. The virtual AstroPay Card is a very simple banking method, but you do need to understand your requirements for managing and using your account. Sign up today.
