Important Update: Temporary Pause on Mustard’s Dollar Card Feature

We understand that using your dollar card is important to your Mustard experience. That’s why it’s difficult to announce that we’ll temporarily pause the dollar card feature starting June 1st, 2024. We know this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption this may cause to your plans.

This decision wasn’t taken lightly. We’ve been experiencing frequent and extended downtimes with our current card partner, which has unfortunately affected some users’ ability to fund and use their dollar cards consistently. 

We’re committed to providing dependable dollar cards and to ensure a consistently smooth experience, we’re upgrading our dollar card service by partnering with a new provider. This will allow us to relaunch a dollar card service that’s better and more dependable than before.

In the meantime, this FAQ answers any questions you may have about the temporary pause.
