Why do I deposit money up-front?

Advantages of a Prepaid Account
• perfectly adapted to regular ID card ordering
• control your budget and simplify the accounting
• Avoids the nuisance of tiny invoices each time you order one or two cards
• Allows YOU to stay in control your ID card budget
• Cards are produced as long as you have a positive balance
• You just fund the account for the number of cards you plan to produce
• No auto-debits – you are warned whenever there are insufficient funds

What if I don’t use my full prefund balance?David Allen2026-05-13T10:44:05-04:00

What if I don’t use my full prefund balance?

Your prefund is a balance, not a card quota. Any unused amount stays in your account and applies to future orders. Funds never expire.

Can I upgrade my tier later?David Allen2026-05-13T10:45:48-04:00

Can I upgrade my tier later?

Yes. If you top up your account to reach the next tier’s prefund total within 12 months, then email [email protected] to request the upgrade. Funds already on file within the last 12 months count toward the new tier’s threshold.

Do funds expire?David Allen2019-12-10T11:12:33-05:00

Do funds expire?

All funds go to card production. Funds never expire.

Are there hidden costs?David Allen2025-02-27T18:53:03-05:00

Are there hidden costs?

There are NO set-up fees, NO card design fees, NO monthly charges, and NO annual charges.
Just one low charge per card, no matter how many you order in a batch — even one single card!
Your per-card charge is applied no matter what the batch size is, no matter how many batches you submit.
