How to Make a Deposit

Once you have opened a UCard Debit Account, there are several ways to deposit funds into your account:

Make an Online Credit/Debit Card Deposit Using GET Funds
Using a Visa, Mastercard, or Discover credit/debit card, you can make an online deposit. Funds deposited online are available to account holders immediately.

Mail in a Check Deposit
You can mail in a check deposit. Print out a deposit slip, fill it out completely, and then mail it to the UCard Office. Mailed deposits are typically available to account holders the same day they are received. Please be aware that UCard Office picks up mail from the P.O.
