You should have received an email from mailing@givecard.io with a link to verify your bank details. If you can't find that email, search "GiveCard Team" in your inbox, and also check your spam folder. You can also access that link here.

Once you submit your bank information, you’ll see your bank verification status. After your bank is verified, your payment will be queued for processing.
