Questions about the debit card
Why should I get a HoneyBook debit card?
Why should I get a HoneyBook debit card?
A dedicated business debit card has multiple benefits that are both convenient and can improve your financial management.
Same-day access to client payments
Cashflow management: Expense tracking, project worth, cashflow insights
Simplifies bookkeeping when personal and business expenses are separated
Convenient and flexible way to access funds: Physical/online purchases, ATM withdrawals
Using your debit card
Maximum daily purchase limit: $5,000 USD
Maximum daily ATM withdrawal limit: $1,000 USD
You can only withdraw $400 USD per ATM session, whereas your total daily withdrawal limit is $1,000 USD. If you want to withdraw more, you'll need to use the ATM machine multiple times.
If you incur a withdrawal fee, that fee amount will count towards your withdrawal limit.
What debit card transaction limits should I be aware of?
What debit card transaction limits should I be aware of?
Transaction limits relate to any time you use your physical or virtual debit card to pay. The daily limit us $5,000 USD.
This limit is shared between your virtual and physical debit card. For example, making a purchase with your physical card will count towards your virtual card's limit.
These are hard limits and they cannot be adjusted.
Can I withdraw funds from ATMs?
Can I withdraw funds from ATMs?
You can! Any ATM machines within the Visa, Plus, Accel, or Interlink financial networks can be used to withdraw cash (though you will incur a withdrawal fee if the machine is not owned by Allpoint). The daily limit is $1,000 USD.
If you do incur a withdrawal fee, that fee amount will count towards your withdrawal limit of $1,000 USD. You must insert your physical debit card into the machine, as withdrawals using your virtual debit card are currently not supported.
Why are my virtual and physical debit card details different?
Why are my virtual and physical debit card details different?
By using different card details on your physical debit card and having you activate it after you’ve received it, you’re at a much lower risk of card activity fraud.
Upon completing your HoneyBook Finance onboarding, your virtual debit card is instantly activated and ready for immediate use. In contrast, if your physical debit card had the same information, it would be activated even before it reaches you by mail. This poses a risk as potential fraudsters could gain unrestricted access to the funds in your HoneyBook Finance account and make unauthorized purchases with the card.

What should I do if an ATM doesn't dispense my cash?
