How can I use my Capital One Secured card instantly after approval?

This question is about the Secured Mastercard® from Capital One

You may be able to get a Capital One Secured instant card number after you're approved, but you'll need to download the Capital One mobile app in order to see it. However, you can only see your new Capital One card's details through the app if you have an existing Capital One credit card account before you apply. To log in to the mobile app, use the details from your Capital One online account.

If you do not meet these conditions, you can use your card after receiving and activating it. It usually takes 7-10 days following account approval to receive your card in the mail. If you need your card faster, you can pay $16 for expedited shipping and get it in 2-3 business days.
