Activating your card

Virtual cards are activated automatically. For physical cards, the card number (otherwise known as PAN) is available for use immediately for online purchases and asa part of an Apple or Google wallet. The physical card will need to be activated prior to your first in person transaction.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Go to app.mercury.com/activate and make sure you’re logged in with the Mercury profile associated with the card.
    1. Alternately, you can go to your Cards page, click on the Unactivated card next to your name, and click the blue Activate button.
  2. Enter the CVC code.
  3. Create and save a new PIN, which you can change anytime.
