How to Activate Your Visa Credit Card

• Online:
  Many issuers will provide you with the address of an activation website, where all you have to do is enter your card and personal information. You may also be able to activate your card by logging in to your account from the issuer’s homepage and navigating from there.
  
  For example, both Capital One and Bank of America have online activation pages for their credit cards.
• Over the phone:
  Your credit card will often come with a sticker on it or an instruction sheet that lists the phone number of an activation line. This line may be automated or may have actual representatives you can talk to. You’ll typically need to enter your card number and the 3-digit security code, along with a few pieces of personal information, such as your Social Security Number (SSN), date of birth and/or zip code. Once you complete the process, your card will be ready to use.
  
  If you lose the activation instructions or are having technical difficulties, all is not lost. You can call the number on the back of your card to reach customer service. They should be able to manually activate your card for you once you verify your identity.
• Through customer service:
  Besides calling your credit card company’s customer service department, you could also call the general Visa customer service number at (800) 847-2911.
  
  They most likely won’t be able to activate your card for you, but they can tell you whom you need to contact in order to do so. But it’s generally most efficient to talk directly to your issuer. A lot of companies have 24/7 customer service lines, so you should be able to get in contact with them at any time.

Activation is a pretty easy process, usually taking only a minute or two. However, it’s important to do it as soon as possible. Some issuers may close your account if you don’t activate your card within a certain amount of time.
