JPay Progress (MasterCard) card refers to the debit card given to the ones who have completed their punishments and have been out of prison. This kind of card has the funds that they had in their commissary account at the time of your release. In some cases, there may also be gratuity or extra funds for transportation.
Apparently, a JPay Progress (MasterCard) card can be used to access cash. For the formerly incarcerated people who are just out of the prisons, you may be wondering which ATM locations that you can use to access cash with this card.
Any ATM is able to be used to access cash from a JPay Progress card. However, if you do not want to be charged with additional fees, you are suggested to use an ATM that has the MoneyPass logo on it. Will you be charged when using your JPay Progress card? Every ATM withdrawal at MoneyPass ATM is 100% free.
It is really easy to find the MoneyPass ATM that is close to you. All that you have to do is to go to moneypass.com/locator and you should be able to find one. When you are handed your JPay Progress card, you will also get a piece of paper with the lists of the nearby ATM with the MoneyPass logo.
Usually, the ATM that has the MoneyPass logo on it is located at some locations such as Walmart, Kmart, and credit unions. It is stated that some ATMs may only allow you to withdraw cash in increments of $20. For those who want to withdraw a smaller amount, you are advised to try using the cash-back option at retailers such as Walmart.
Not only can it be used to access cash, the JPay Progress card can also be used to purchase goods and services anywhere MasterCard is accepted. For those who are wondering if you will be charged when using this card to purchase something, there is nothing to worry as you will not. Just like accessing cash, purchasing something is also free. Apart from these two, balance inquiries and card activation are also free. However, there is a fee of $3 after 90 days of inactivity and it will be applied every month if there is continued inactivity on the card.
If you want to check the balance in your JPay Progress card, the best way to do that is by visiting Releasecards.JPay.com. Actually, it is not the only way. Another way is to call 866-777-5729.
Before using your JPay Progress card, you may be wondering when it can be used. For your information, this card is already active and ready to use at ATMs and for every transaction that is based on PIN. When you get this card for the first time, the funds may not be loaded yet. If it is the case, please check the balance in your card once a week to see if any additional funds have been added to your card. If you have any question about the funds due, please direct it to the business office of your releasing facility.
