How it works
Everything you need to know about how Curve works.
Getting started
Download the Curve app and choose which card you want to order.
Your card should be with you in 3-5 working days.
Adding cards to Curve
Use the camera to scan and upload your card details automatically or enter them manually.
Repeat for any other cards you want to add to Curve.
Activate your Curve Card
When your Curve card arrives, it’s time to activate it in the app.
Simply go to the “Account” tab and tap “Activate your card”. You’ll be asked to enter the last 4 digits of your Curve card, and it’s ready to go.
Paying with your Curve card
You’ve activated Curve, added your cards, and now you’re ready to pay. To choose which card you want to pay with, just swipe through your digital wallet in the app and tap the card you need. Then, you can use your Curve card like you would any other card in your wallet.
Paying with Curve on your phone
You can go totally card-free by hooking up your Curve card to Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay. Any card you add to Curve will work with them, even if your bank doesn’t – that’s the kind of life hacks we like.
Say hi to your Curve Cash card
This is a virtual card in the Curve app. Your balance is made up of money earned through cashback, promos, or referrals, and any money sent to you from other people on Curve. On the rare occasions we aren't able to process a refund to your bank account, it'll land in here where you can spend it right away. Find out more
See what you’ve spent
See what you’re spending on all your accounts at once with Curve insights, alerts and notifications. Your Curve timeline will show you what you’ve spent, when you’ve spent, and where you’ve spent it. You’ll get (optional) notifications every time you spend, and you can go to “insights” on the app for a categorised breakdown of your spend across all your cards on Curve.
Go Back in Time
Paid on the wrong card? Never mind, rewind. Switch payments from one card to another, up to 90 days after the payment was made! Simply tap the transaction you want to move, click “Go Back in Time” and swipe to the card you’d like to pay with instead – yep, time travel is that easy.
Lost your Curve Card?
Lock it with a tap in the app. Protect all your cards with one single tap.
