Frequently Asked Questions

There are key similarities and differences. Like similar cards, our prepaid Mastercard can be loaded with funds from your chequing account but, unlike similar cards, it is not connected to your cash accounts. (In other words, it can't be used like a regular debit card.)

It is a prepaid Mastercard that works anywhere Mastercard is accepted, with a few differences:

• There is no credit limit (because you're not borrowing). You decide how much of your cash you want to load onto it.

• It does nothing to affect your credit rating and no credit checks are required. The only requirement for eligibility is that you're an Alberta resident.

• It's not linked to your cash accounts in any way. This means that thieves/hackers won’t be able to access your account or rack up illicit purchases with your Load & Go, so you can use it with peace of mind.

ATB's Load & Go Prepaid Mastercard works at ABMs across the world. Pay only $3.50 per transaction for ABM withdrawals within Canada2 and $5.00 per transaction for ABM withdrawal outside of Canada2. Additional fees that may be charged when using a non-ATB ABM.1

Absolutely. You can easily add funds to your prepaid Mastercard, check your balance and track your spending with ATB Personal banking or the ATB Personal banking app.

It's called Mastercard Zero Liability, which means that, if your card is used for an unauthorized transaction, as long as you’ve used reasonable care in safeguarding your card and PIN and you report the loss or theft of your card to ATB Financial immediately after becoming aware of it, you won't be held responsible for fraudulent charges. So you can rest easy. Also, as soon as we learn that your card is stolen, we will cancel it and issue a new one with access to whatever funds you’d already loaded. 

It is possible (but unlikely) that a transaction will put your card into a negative balance. As stated in your Load & Go Prepaid Mastercard Cardholder Agreement, if this does happen, you must immediately repay the amount owed.
