Curve is an instant-issue card that allows you to direct the cost of the ring directly to any Spanish card you have. This card redirects the cost of the ring to the card of the traditional bank you are a customer of.
Here's how to create a Curve card:
1. Download the Curve app
Curve for iOS
Curve for Android
2. Create an account on Curve
Open the app and click 'Continue' to register your data
Verify your mobile number
Confirm your email
Define the password to access your account in the app
Provide your personal details: First name, first and second surname. It is important that you use exactly the same details that appear on your identity document.
Give your address so they can send you the physical card
Associate your first bank card with the one you will use to make payments for the ring
To combat money laundering, European regulations require you to identify yourself when making payments of more than €1,000 with the same card, so we recommend that you do not skip this step.
You will need to upload photos of your ID (ID, driving license, passport or residence permit) on both sides, and then take a selfie as proof of life. Once you send them, Curve will verify them and, after a few minutes, give you the result of the review.
Choose the Curve card. Pay attention, Curve has several plans, one free and the rest paid. The free plan is the blue card. With the blue card you only have to pay €4.99, which we have already discounted when you buy the ring.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Please do not activate your virtual card on your phone (Samsung Wallet, GPay or iPhone Pay) or your physical card before activating the ring. That is, wait for the ring to arrive at your home, activate it with the QR that we will attach to the ring and then, if you want, you can activate the Curve card in the phone wallet or the physical card when it arrives. If you activate Curve in the phone wallet or the physical card before activating the ring, you will not be able to activate the ring afterwards and you will have to start the setup process again.
Once you have completed these steps, you will have created the Curve card and associated your bank card. With the free plan you can associate a second card.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Remember well, in Account/Card details you will find these important data:
- The data you must register on your ring through our Fidesmos gateway
- The PIN you must enter at the POS terminal when it asks for it. Do not enter your bank card PIN because it will not work.
