# How to activate a card?

1. **Log into Your VLINKPAY App**: Start by signing into your VLINKPAY account where the virtual Vlinkcard is provided.
2. **Navigate to the Virtual Card Section in Settings**: Find the “Virtual Cards” option within the profile's menu.
3. **Initiate Activation**: Select “Active Card” to begin the process. Enter the card number, CVV/CVC printed on your physical card, setup PIN, confirm it and click “Active". Make sure your card is not yet activated before.
4. **Complete Activation**: Once the card is activated successfully, you can see this card is now on your card list.
