How To Activate your AllGo Physical Gift Card

Step 1

Go to allgo.getmybalance.com

Go to allgo.getmybalance.com and click ‘Create Account‘ (or login if you already have an account and skip to Step 4 below).โ€‹

Step 2

To Create a New Account

If you are creating an allgo.getmybalance account for the first time:

  1. Enter your card number and theย 6-Digit Security Code from the back of your card (not the CVV – see image).
  2. Enter your personal details, and aย username (your email) and create a password.
  3. You need toย open the Ts&Cs linkย before submitting your details.
Step 3

Set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

MFA secures your account by adding your Mobile Number and a Secure Login PIN to the login process.

  1. When you first login to your Cardholder Account, you will be sent a One-Time Verification Code to your login email address.
  2. Copy this One-Time Verification Code from your email and paste it into the Login Pop-Up.
  3. Select โ€œPublic Computerโ€ for a shared device or โ€œNo, Iโ€™m safeโ€ for a personal device (which will bypass MFA on this device for future logins).
  4. Enter your Mobile Number.

MFA is now set-up, and the next time you log in from a new device, you can choose whether to send a login code by email or SMS. Click here to watch video on Setting Up MFA on your Cardholder login
