Paysafecard Mastercard | What it is & how it works

The PaysafeCard Mastercard is a prepaid card that works just like a regular Mastercard. You can:

Pay at any shop that accepts Mastercard.
Make contactless payments up to £120.
Withdraw cash at ATMs worldwide.
Shop online securely with Mastercard Identity Check.

Register for a Paysafecard Account
Visit the official PaysafeCard website and sign up for a free account. You’ll need to provide personal details and verify your identity with a valid photo ID.
Order Your Mastercard

Once your account is set up, log in and navigate to the Paysafecard Mastercard section. Choose your card design, confirm your details, and submit your order. The card typically arrives within 14–20 business days.
Activate and Top Up Your Card

While waiting for your card, you can purchase Paysafecard PINs from authorized sellers like Startselect. However, these PINs are primarily used to fund your Paysafecard account and not directly the Mastercard.

After receiving your card, activate it online through your Paysafecard account. You can then top it up using your account balance, which can be funded with Paysafecard PINs or other available methods.
Start Spending

Use your Paysafecard Mastercard wherever Mastercard is accepted, both online and in physical stores. It’s a prepaid card, so you can only spend the amount you’ve loaded onto it.

Important! Only buy PaysafeCard top-up codes from authorized sellers like Startselect to ensure your money stays safe and secure.
