It is often quick and easy to understand why a payment was declined.
Here are a few things to check:
– Have you completed your profile to 100%?
This means you have successfully completed all the verification steps (ID document approved, postal address verified or liveness check).
You need to complete these steps in full to make the most of your PCS card. You will then be able to use your card across the entire Mastercard network and benefit from higher limits.
If you have not completed your profile to 100% and need help, click here.
– Is your balance sufficient? Your card is prepaid, which means it cannot go overdrawn. Simply top it up to be able to use it.
– Are you sure your card is not locked? For security reasons, you can lock your card by text message or from your mobile app. If your card is locked, you cannot use it. Unlock it and you're good to go!
– Did you enter the correct PIN code, or the correct details when paying online?
Once your card has been activated by text message, you need to create your “My account” area.
To do so, have the phone you used to activate your PCS card to hand, then go to mypcs.com or your MyPCS mobile app.
From the mypcs.com website: click “My account” at the top right, then “First login”.


From your MyPCS app: open the app, tap “Log in”, then “First login”.

Then simply follow the on-screen instructions to register.

If you ordered a personalised card with your name on it (embossed card) or a Virtual card, your “My account” area has already been created. Simply log in to your area using the username and password you chose when you made your purchase.
Part of the price of our cards goes to the company that manufactures them.
To make our cards easily accessible, we chose to rely on the network of tobacconists to distribute them. With every sale and top-up, the tobacconist is therefore also entitled to a share of the price of the card or a percentage of the top-up fees.
PCS is not a bank: we therefore use banks' cash machines to let you withdraw money in France and abroad. The withdrawal fees we charge you are paid back to them in full.
The monthly fees, between €1.50 and €2, partly go towards paying our PCS teams, who work every day to provide you with a quality service and answer your questions.
To sum up, our fees pay the factory that makes our cards, the tobacconist network, the banks and us, PCS!
On the other hand, we have decided to charge no fees on salary and social benefit transfers, or on online and in-store payments!
Which card did you order?
Our card delivery times are:
– for an embossed card (personalised card with your name on it): 14 working days;
– for an express card: 48 working hours (for example, a card ordered on a Friday is shipped the following Monday).
If you have not received your card within the times shown above, contact us on 0 811 880 200 or via the contact form.
We will ask you to provide:
– your last name and first name;
– the phone number given when ordering;
– the reference, exact date and delivery address of your order.
As a reminder, the Virtual card is a digital card that can only be used for online payments. It is therefore normal that you do not receive a physical card.
To use your card online, your Virtual card details are available in your “My account” area.

From the mypcs.com website: click “My account” at the top right, then click the gear icon at the top right and “My account”. You can then change your email address.
It is important to provide a valid email address so that you receive all the information relating to your card.
PCS fees apply when you carry out transactions. Here are a few examples:
– Incoming transfer fee: 2% of the amount loaded will be deducted.
– Withdrawal fee: a fee of €1.50 is charged for each withdrawal.
– Declined transaction fee: please note that €0.20 is charged for each declined transaction. Remember to check your card balance before making a payment.

From the MyPCS mobile app: go to “Send”, then “Transfer” and follow the instructions, which are the same as above.
My username:
You need to choose a username that is not already taken by another PCS customer and is not too easy to guess.
If the name has already been taken, you will see the following error message:

We recommend choosing a username that combines letters and numbers. It is important to choose a username that you will remember for your next logins to your “My account” area.

My password:
To keep your PCS “My account” area secure, your password must meet several requirements. Your password must:
- be made up of 6 digits;
- not contain the same digit 3 times in a row;
- not be an obvious sequence or your date of birth.
To help you, as you type your password, each requirement turns green once it is met. Any requirement that is not met stays red.
We then ask you to type the password again to make sure you remember it and that there are no typos. Both passwords must be identical.

After that, to log in to your “My account” area, simply enter your password on the keypad as shown below.

To change your postal address, email us at contact@creacard.net with proof of address in your name dated within the last 3 months (handwritten rent receipts and certificates of accommodation are not accepted).
