Yes, you should be able to active your visa debit card if it is still valid and within its expiry date.
If it is a brand new card it should have come with activation instructions. This would either be in a form of a letter that accompanied the card or may well be a little sticker that is placed on your card. Activating a card usually entails you needing to either text or phone a specific number.
If you cannot see any instructions anywhere on how to activate your card then you are best contacting the bank you received your card from. Either head into your local branch with your Visa debit card you wish to activate or ring up your bank. You will need to explain to them that you are wishing to activate your card and ask how you would go about doing this.
Some reasons why your card may not be successfully activated are as follows:
• The credit card has expired
• The credit card has been frozen due to unpaid debts
• The fraud team have put a block on it due to suspicious transactions
• The credit card has been reported stolen and so is blocked
If you contact the bank then they will more than likely tell you about any of the issues above that could be affecting the successful activation of your card.
