Let's get that card added!

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding Your Card

Okay, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Here’s how to add your card to BRImo:

1. Open the BRImo App: First things first, make sure you have the BRImo app installed on your phone. If not, download it from the App Store (for iOS users) or Google Play Store (for Android users). Once it's installed, open the app. If you're a first-time user, you'll need to go through the initial setup process, which includes creating an account and linking it to your BRI account. This usually involves verifying your identity and setting up a secure PIN or biometric login. Once you're all set up, you'll be ready to start adding your card.
2. Navigate to the 'Cards' Section: Once you're logged in, look for the 'Cards' or 'My Cards' section. It’s usually located on the main dashboard or in the menu. The exact location may vary depending on the version of the app, but it's typically easy to find. If you're having trouble, try using the search function within the app to quickly locate the 'Cards' section. This section is where you'll manage all your linked cards, view transaction history, and add new cards.
3. Tap 'Add New Card': In the 'Cards' section, you'll see an option to add a new card. It might be a button or a link, but it's usually pretty obvious. Tap on it to start the process. The app will then prompt you to enter your card details. Make sure you have your card handy, as you'll need to enter the card number, expiration date, and CVV code. Double-check all the information you enter to avoid any errors.
4. Enter Your Card Details: Now, carefully enter your card number, expiration date, and CVV code. Double-check everything to make sure it’s correct. Typos can cause the process to fail, and you don’t want that! Be especially careful when entering the card number, as even a single incorrect digit can prevent the card from being added. The expiration date is usually formatted as MM/YY, so make sure you enter it correctly. The CVV code is a three- or four-digit number located on the back of your card. It's an important security feature, so keep it safe and don't share it with anyone.
5. Verify Your Card: BRImo will likely send a verification code to your phone number or email address associated with your bank account. Enter this code when prompted to confirm that you are the cardholder. This verification step is crucial for security, as it helps prevent unauthorized users from adding your card to their BRImo account. The verification code is usually sent within a few seconds, but it may take longer in some cases. If you don't receive the code within a reasonable amount of time, you can request a new one.
6. Set a Nickname (Optional): You can set a nickname for your card to easily identify it in the app. For example, you might name it “Main Credit Card” or “Travel Card.” This is especially useful if you have multiple cards linked to your BRImo account. The nickname will appear next to your card details in the app, making it easy to distinguish between your different cards. You can change the nickname at any time in the 'Cards' section of the app.
7. Complete the Process: Once you've entered all the required information and verified your card, tap 'Submit' or 'Add Card' to complete the process. BRImo will then process your request and, if everything goes smoothly, your card will be added to your account. You'll usually receive a confirmation message indicating that your card has been successfully added. Now you can start using your card for transactions within the BRImo app.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Sometimes things don’t go as planned. Here are some common issues you might encounter and how to fix them:

• Incorrect Card Details: This is the most common issue. Double-check that you’ve entered the card number, expiration date, and CVV code correctly. Even a small mistake can prevent the card from being added. Take your time and carefully review each digit to ensure accuracy. If you're still having trouble, try using a magnifying glass or asking someone else to double-check the details for you.
• Verification Code Issues: If you don’t receive the verification code, make sure your phone number and email address are up-to-date with your bank. You can also try requesting a new code. Sometimes, there may be delays in sending the verification code due to network issues or server problems. If you've requested multiple codes, make sure you're using the latest one. If you're still not receiving the code, contact your bank to verify your contact information and ensure that there are no issues with your account.
• Card Not Supported: BRImo might not support all types of cards. Check with BRI or your bank to see if your card is compatible. Some cards may have restrictions or limitations that prevent them from being added to the app. For example, certain prepaid cards or international cards may not be supported. If your card is not compatible, you may need to use a different card or payment method.
• App Issues: Make sure you’re using the latest version of the BRImo app. Outdated apps can have bugs that prevent you from adding cards. Check for updates in the App Store or Google Play Store and install any available updates. You can also try clearing the app's cache and data, which can sometimes resolve issues. To do this, go to your phone's settings, find the BRImo app, and tap on 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Data'. Keep in mind that clearing the data will reset the app, so you'll need to log in again.
• Contact Customer Support: If you’ve tried everything and still can’t add your card, don’t hesitate to contact BRImo customer support. They can help you troubleshoot the issue and provide further assistance. You can usually find contact information for customer support on the BRImo website or in the app. Be prepared to provide your account details and a description of the problem you're experiencing.

Tips for Secure Card Management

Keeping your card information secure is super important. Here are some tips to help you manage your cards safely on BRImo:

• Use a Strong PIN: Make sure your BRImo PIN is strong and not easy to guess. Avoid using common numbers like your birthday or address. A strong PIN should be at least six digits long and include a combination of numbers, letters, and symbols. Change your PIN regularly to further enhance security.
• Enable Biometric Login: If your phone supports it, enable biometric login (fingerprint or facial recognition) for added security. This makes it much harder for someone to access your BRImo account without your permission. Biometric login provides an extra layer of protection, as it requires your unique biological characteristics to verify your identity.
• Monitor Transactions: Regularly check your transaction history in the BRImo app to spot any unauthorized activity. If you notice anything suspicious, report it to your bank immediately. Monitoring your transactions regularly can help you detect fraudulent activity early on and minimize potential losses.
• Keep Your Phone Secure: Protect your phone with a strong password or PIN and enableFind My Device feature to track or wipe your phone if it gets lost or stolen. This can prevent unauthorized access to your BRImo account and other sensitive information stored on your phone.
• Be Wary of Phishing: Be cautious of phishing emails or messages that ask for your card details or BRImo login information. Never share your sensitive information with anyone online or over the phone. Legitimate companies will never ask for your password or PIN via email or text message.
