Why does the account require a vetting process?

The U.S. Bank Secrecy Act, designed to prevent the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, requires Walmart to verify the identities of customers purchasing large amount of prepaid access products (i.e., gift cards). This also helps protect our customers from gift card fraud, which has substantially increased over recent years. Your information will be vetted by a specialist to determine eligibility.

What happens after my application is submitted?

Once your application is submitted, a Corporate Sales Specialist will review your information and reply within three business days. We reserve the right to accept or reject applications at our sole discretion.
