Refills

The pay-as-you-go variant of the card operates as if it were stored-value, though it is technically a deposit card. Refills are done by electronic funds transfer via VakıfBank using deposit accounts associated to supported POS terminals.

Security

The card stores data about last few transactions to prevent fraud. Transactions otherwise commence online. If data on the card about a particular transaction mismatches data on the central database, the card may be blocked.
