Frequently Asked Questions


What is the DPS Mobile App?

The DPS Mobile App is an on-behalf-of (OBO), white label, issuer-branded, mobile solution that enables Visa issuers to meet the needs of their connected consumers. The app improves the cardholder experience by providing a flexible and secure way to manage and use their Visa or MasterCard.

The DPS Mobile App enables issuers with limited resources to easily deploy a comprehensive mobile card solution that utilizes many of the services that are also available through the Visa Developer Center via APIs. In essence, it provides Visa issuers with deployment flexibility.

This particular version of the DPS Mobile App is for Visa employees, and will allow employees the opportunity to engage with the app and provide the product team with valuable feedback.

What is the Visa Connected Card?

Visa has partnered with Commerce Bank to provide select Product and Technology team members with a DPS-processed Prepaid card, which is attached to an employee-owned Prepaid account at Visa DPS. We’ve called this the "Connected Card" program to convey that the card can be used with the app to connect the cardholder with a variety of payment-related experiences. These cards have been configured to work with the employee version of the DPS Mobile App solution.

Back to list of questions

Do I need to activate my Connected Card before adding it to the DPS Mobile App?

Yes. You must activate your Visa Connected Card via the Connected Card Prepaid Website before you load it to your DPS Mobile App.

Back to list of questions

Does activating the card automatically activate the app?

No. You will need to enroll in the app separately by creating a username and password. Once you’ve done this, you can load your activated Connected Card into the app.

The process of enrolling in the app creates a user profile on the app platform, which then enables the app features to be delivered to the app.

Back to list of questions

Why am I being prompted to verify my identity?

For your protection, you may be prompted to verify your identity with a One-time Password (OTP) that will be sent to the email address or mobile number on file with your Connected Card Prepaid account. This may happen when you log into the app or when you select to view sensitive account data via the app.

Back to list of questions

Can I load cards provided by other issuers to the app?

No. The DPS Mobile App is an issuer solution and, as such, only supports the cards of the issuer that deploys the app. It is not an open wallet solution. This version of the DPS Mobile App is configured to only support the Prepaid Connected Cards issued by Commerce Bank.

Back to list of questions

What are the minimum phone requirements to use the DPS Mobile App?

The DPS Mobile App supports iPhone devices running the iOS 11 operating system and above, and supports Android devices running the operating system version 7 (i.e. Nougat) and above.

Back to list of questions

How many times can I enter an incorrect password before I am locked out?

Your app will be locked for 30 minutes after six incorrect log in attempts.

  • There is a "FORGOT PASSWORD" feature located next to the password field that can be utilized to assist with remembering your password.
  • For security reasons, call center representatives will not be able to call reset your password.

Back to list of questions

If I get a new mobile phone what will I need to do to use the app?

Simply download the app from the app store, and login using the username and password you have established for the app. You may use the same username and password on both iOS and Android devices.

Back to list of questions

How will I know if there are updates for the DPS Mobile App?

When an updated version of the DPS Mobile App is available, it will be provided to select users via Testflight or Google BETA for testing purposes prior to publishing. Then, updated versions will be published to the iTunes and Google Playstore for use by the Connected Card program.

We will periodically update the app to introduce new capabilities prior to general availability. Please be advised that some of these updates may require you to re-enter your card information.

To pay, simply unlock your Android device and hold it to the payment terminal – no need to open the app.

You may be prompted to enter your PIN on the payment terminal. This is the same PIN you use with your card. You may also be prompted to sign, depending on the merchant and the payment amount.

Following the purchase, you will receive a payment notification confirming the transaction.

Why is the Pay-In Store functionality not available on my iPhone?

Apple has restricted access to the NFC capability within iPhones. Visa is therefore unable to provide Pay-In Store functionality on iOS at this time.

Consumers who have loaded DPS Mobile App onto their Apple device can still take advantage of all other DPS Mobile App features, but will need to use ApplePay for Payment transactions.

Back to list of questions

Can I push provision my card information to the other payment wallets?

Yes. The Connected Card app now supports the ability to securely push provision your card account information directly into Apple Pay (iOS), Samsung Pay (Android) and Google Pay (Android) with several easy clicks of a button. This removes the need to add your card to these other wallets directly.
