Other options:

To activate your debit card, you can do any of the following.

• Contact us at 1-844-228-2872 and follow the prompts.
• Visit any BBVA USA ATM with your card and PIN.
• Visit a branch location for assistance.

The reason may be because you didn’t use your PIN at the time of purchase.

You see, if you make a purchase with a debit card and don’t use the PIN, and there are enough funds in the client’s account at the point of sale to cover the transaction, the transaction will be authorized and allowed to proceed.

Since no PIN was used, the transaction will take 4 days or longer to actually post to your account. If during that time, you spend all your available balance through another means (check, ACH, etc.), then when that original debit card transaction is received and posted, it will overdraw the client’s account.

Since you opted-out for ATM and everyday debit card transactions, insufficient fund fees will not be charged for those debit card transactions.  However, any checks or other transactions that either posted to your account and took your balance negative or were returned due to insufficient funds may be subject to insufficient funds fees.

To opt-out for checks and all other transactions:

1. Sign in to Online Banking
2. Click on “Service Center”
3. In the Service Center, click on “Account Preferences”
4. Scroll down to Online Banking Services
5. Click on “Change courtesy overdraft options”
6. Follow the prompts
