The BioLife Debit Card is a prepaid debit MasterCard that plasma donors at the BioLife Plasma Service Center use to get compensation for their donation. Every time they donate plasma, the donors get rewarded with a money transfer on this card. They can use that money anywhere a MasterCard is accepted - no need to look for a special card ATM. The same goes for the transfer money directly from a BioLife Debit Card to a bank account.
There is no special Card transfer routine: the process is the same as with the usual MasterCard debit card. The BioLife card allows donors to check Biolife card balance, update their profile, locate a nearby ATM, make a money transfer, and more, 24/7. And in this article, we’ll learn how to register a BioLife Debit Card, activate the card, and also check out the benefits, and much more.
