How do I add a linked account or card?

  • Updated

Important Update:

Beginning October, we've decided to end linked-card transaction rewards and referral rewards, as we shift our focus to rewards on gift cards and online offers.

You will still earn points on linked-card transactions until the end of September, and continue to earn points on gift card purchases in the Bitmo app. Your points, and future points earned on gift card purchases, can be redeemed for gifts from your Wallet.

 

Adding a linked payment account allows you join our Bitmo Perks program. You can add more than and earn points for every $1 dollar you spend, using your linked card at any Bitmo brand. We’ll curate free gifts and bonus perks just for you based on your purchases and the brands you love.

*If your search returns no results, be sure you are typing the full name instead of the acronym (e.g. search "San Diego County Credit Union" instead of SDCCU).

**To log in, enter your username and password the same way you would on your bank’s website or app. Keep in mind your bank may require multi-factor authentication through the use of a PIN, security question, or unique code. Be sure to follow all prompts to complete the verification process. If you have trouble logging in, contact your bank to reset your login credentials.
