What happens if the card is lost?
In the event that the card is lost or stolen, the cardholder should first contact the issuing department. The department will then contact Depository Services with the card's ICN so that the card’s balance can be verified, the funds removed and the card cancelled, and funds loaded onto a replacement card. For SVCs mailed and never received by the card recipient, the department should notify Depository Services with the ICN in order for the card balance to be verified. The department can then determine whether the original card should be cancelled and a replacement card should be issued. Beginning May 1, 2019 we will no longer be defunding PNC cards, crediting chartstrings, or transferring funds to a new PNC card, for any amount less than $5.00.
Can unused cards be returned?
Unused and sealed cards can be returned to either Depository Services office. Please email Stored Value Cards and provide the ICNs of the cards to be returned along with a scan of the original card request form. Depository Services will verify the amount remaining on the cards and, once the physical cards are returned, funds will be credited back to the original chart string used.
Can the cardholder personalize the card?
What resources are available to assist a card recipient?

Please note that the card recipient can access a live operator at any time by pressing "0", but a $2.50 per call charge will be assessed. Card balances can also be obtained by visiting .
