Cape payment FAQ
Can I keep my real card and address private from Cape?
Yes. Cape only ever sees your Halocard, never your bank card. You choose the cardholder name and billing address on each card, so your real details stay out of Cape's records. If you ever want a clean break, cancel that card and make a new one in seconds.
Will Cape show up on my bank statement?
No. Your Cape purchases, with the merchant name and amount, show only in your Halocard account, never on your bank or card statement. When you add funds by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, your bank sees a single deposit labelled HALOCARD and nothing about where you spend it. What your bank statement shows.
What should I do if Cape declines or doesn't support my card?
Pay with a Halocard instead. Cape accepts it, and as a US-issued Visa credit card held in US dollars it is accepted at checkouts that are strict about card type or country. Halocard is available for customers in the US and 120+ countries, so check that your country is supported, then make a card for Cape in minutes. See the countries Halocard supports.
Can I use a virtual card for Cape?
Yes. Cape accepts Halocard, a US-issued Visa credit card that works like a debit card. Make a card just for Cape and you are in full control: set a limit, lock it or cancel it whenever you like, without ever handing Cape your bank card.
