YOU'LL NEED Nothing |
Short answer: if you live in, or your account is registered in, one of the countries listed below, you won't be able to activate or use a Swype card right now.
| ① |
Why some countries aren't supported |
Swype works with banks and card networks around the world, and some countries have rules that make it impossible for those networks to operate there. This isn't something we can turn on or off per person — it's a restriction at the country level, so it applies to everyone in that location.

Countries where Swype isn't available |
You won't be able to sign up, activate a card, or use an existing Swype account if you're located in:

What happens if I'm in one of these countries? |
If your location matches one of the countries above, a few things may happen:
| ● | You won't be able to finish signing up or activating your card |
| ● | An existing card may be temporarily paused |
| ● | Transactions made from that location may be declined |
| ④ |
I'm traveling, not living there — does this still apply? |
It can. If you try to use your card while physically in one of these locations, the transaction may not go through even if your home address is somewhere else. This isn't personal — it's how the underlying card networks handle these locations everywhere, not just on Swype.
Good to know: this list can change over time as global rules change. If a country isn't listed here anymore, or a new one is, it's because the underlying restrictions changed — not something specific to your account.
Think this doesn't apply to you?
If you believe your account was restricted by mistake, reach out and we'll take a look.
