Disclosures

1

The Visa Buxx Card is initially loaded during the "Add New Student" process by using a Navy Federal Debit Card or Navy Federal Visa or Mastercard credit card. The initial load amount onto a card can be between $20 and $500. This will be processed as a normal transaction (not a cash advance). Additionally, you will have the option to set up automatic funding to help take the stress out of giving your students cash.
