Learn moreAs the parent of an adult dual-diagnosis individual, I have found that the True Link Visa Card has allowed me to breathe again. My child has enough freedom to shop for his needs, but no access to unrestricted funds to abuse. He has been as grateful as I have been. He is learning to manage his financial life successfully.

The card administrator manages the True Link Visa Card. This administrator can be a family member, friend, professional, or someone else who helps manage another’s finances. Managing a True Link Visa Card means a variety of things, like being responsible for ordering the Visa card, putting the settings in place for how the funds can and cannot be used, adding money, scheduling fund transfers, updating account information, and more.
It depends. You can choose to block or allow withdrawals at ATMs based on the needs of the cardholder.
You can also block access to cash in a variety of ways including: blocking withdrawals inside a bank (i.e., getting cash from a teller at a bank) and, blocking cash-back at time of purchase.
If a True Link Visa Card has been lost or stolen, you can immediately disable the Visa card to prevent additional transactions and protect against fraud. If the Visa card needs to be replaced, you can close the account and order a replacement. All of this can be done online, via our 24/7 automated phone system (1-866-984-8576), or by speaking with a Customer Support representative at (1-866-984-8576) during standard business hours. Once the new Visa card arrives and is activated, any funds remaining on the lost Visa card will be automatically transferred to the new Visa card.
Yes, because the True Link Visa Card is a prepaid card, this means that purchases can only be made using money that has been added to the account. Additionally, many card administrators help their cardholders stay on a budget by scheduling recurring daily, weekly, or monthly transfers. This way cardholders receive funds when they need them -- without spending beyond their means.
For those supporting someone in recovery, where additional budgeting support can help rebuild independence, the True Link Next Step Visa Card allows you to specify monthly, weekly, or daily budgets. Contact us to learn more.
