Frequently asked questions
About the card
What is Talent Card?
The Lyte’s Talent Card is LytePay’s prepaid card. With it, you can instantly access your outstanding commissions by topping it up and using it at any Merchant that accepts Mastercard (in stores or online).
Is it a credit card or debit card?
The Talent Card is neither, it is a LytePay innovation. A credit card involves borrowing money from the bank, while a debit card draws upon your savings. The Talent Card utilizes your unpaid commissions. It doesn’t affect your credit rating, and you’ll never have to pay interest on ‘late payments’.
Do I need to pay for the card? What are the fees?
It is currently free to sign up for the card! There is a one-time transaction fee of 3.5% to top up your card from your LyteMoney, which is the same as the cashout fee.
Getting the card
How do I sign-up for Talent Card?
You will need to be an ERA agent and have a LytePay account first. If you haven’t sign up, you can do it here https://web.lytepay.co/register. After you’ve verified your identity and CEA, you can proceed to apply for a Talent Card on your dashboard.
Can I enter anything for my preferred name?
