With Viably debit cards you can have an unlimited number of transactions on each card, and no monthly minimums. It's important to note the max daily spend on a Viably debit card is $10,000 USD (per card) and the max monthly spend (per card) is $20,000 USD. 

 

❗Note: When you go through Viably's user verification, you are asked to provide your residential address and zip code. This is the zip code that will be tied to the user's Viably debit card. This is important as if you are asked to supply a zip for any online payments with your Viably card, use the residential zip provided during your user verification.

Maintaining sufficient funds 
With Viably it's easy to keep an eye on your spending habits and card limits. Be sure to maintain sufficient funds in your account - if you have insufficient funds not only will it prevent you from completing purchases or key payments to suppliers, but you risk locking your card. After five (5) declined/failed transactions on a card, your Viably debit card will automatically be locked for 24hours.
