What Should I Keep In Mind Regarding The Become.1 Card? (en)

No Overdraft: The card cannot be used for overdrafts; it is a prepaid-based system.
Payment Decline: If a payment is attempted but the balance is insufficient, the transaction will be cancelled.
Split Payment: It may be possible to split the payment; however, this must be communicated with the cashier and is at the merchant's discretion.
Saving: You can save up the balance on your card over time.
Deactivation: Once the balance is fully used up, the card is automatically deactivated.
Cash withdrawals are not possible.
Availability of Balance (Rolling Reserve): The new balance is not always available directly on the 1st of the month. Due to standard banking processes (the so-called "rolling reserve"), there may be a short delay of a few days until the bank releases the security reserves and the amount is finally loaded onto your card.

ZIP Code Link: The card is bound to a specific acceptance area determined by a ZIP code.
Radius: The acceptance area covers the registered ZIP code area and all adjacent ZIP code areas. [HERE] you can test our ZIP code generator.
Changing the Region: The acceptance area cannot be changed unless the balance is below €1 or no transactions have been made yet.
