How to track your debit card in the mail
The anxiety of waiting for a debit card to arrive in the mail! Here are some ways to track your debit card:
1. Check your email: Keep an eye on your email inbox for updates from your bank or credit union. They may send you notifications when your card is shipped or when it's delivered.
2. Use your bank's online platform: Log in to your online banking account or mobile banking app to check the status of your card shipment. You may be able to track the card's delivery status or receive updates on its expected arrival date.
3. Contact your bank: Reach out to your bank's customer service department via phone, email, or live chat. They can provide you with information on the status of your card shipment and estimated delivery date.
4. Use a tracking number: If your bank provides a tracking number, you can use it to track your card's delivery status on the shipping carrier's website (e.g., USPS, UPS, FedEx).
5. Check your mailbox regularly: Keep an eye on your mailbox for any signs of your debit card, such as a delivery confirmation notice or a package from your bank.
6. Use a package tracking app: Apps like Package Guard or ShipStation allow you to track packages and receive updates on their delivery status.
7. Set up delivery notifications: Some banks and credit unions offer delivery notifications, which send you updates on the status of your card shipment. Check with your bank to see if this service is available.
Tips to ensure safe delivery:
- Make sure your mailing address is up to date with your bank.
- Keep an eye on your mailbox and report any suspicious activity to your local post office or authorities.
- Consider using a secure mailbox or a post office box to receive your debit card.
- If you're concerned about the security of your debit card, consider using a prepaid debit card or a virtual debit card.
Remember to always keep your debit card information and PIN secure to prevent unauthorized use.
