            If I don\u2019t have a bank account, debit or credit card, can I use e-wallet?<\/b>
            \nYes. USANA has partnered with Lightstorm to provide cards to Associates that do not have bank accounts. These cards will allow easy access to e-wallet funds, but cannot carry a negative balance, so you can only spend as much money as you have in your account. They are NOT credit cards. Open an e-wallet account and contact USANA at             CustomerServicePH@USANAinc.com<\/a> or (02) 858-4500 to talk to a customer service representative for help opening a card account. Commissions sent to your e-wallet account can be transferred to the Lightstorm card.<\/p>\n

            Is e-wallet secure?<\/b>
            \nAbsolutely! USANA and Lightstorm are very concerned about keeping your information safe. During registration you will be prompted to create and confirm a password and three security questions. The answers to these questions will be required to access your account or to change or reset your password.<\/p>\n

            May I transfer money to local debit or credit cards?<\/b>
            \nYes. E-wallet works with local debit or credit cards. The debit or credit cards must be linked to an account (funds cannot be transferred to generic gift cards) and funds transferred to a local card will be issued in local currency.<\/p>\n

            Why am I being asked to deactivate my account?<\/b>
            \nThe e-wallet account must maintain a minimum balance to cover the monthly activity fee and transfer fees (see the Fee section for more information). If the account balance falls below this threshold, the system will prompt you to deactivate the account. If you wish to keep the account open, simply transfer funds into the account. If you wish to deactivate the account, follow the prompts and confirm the request. If the balance of the account is greater than fees that are due, you will be prompted to cash out the remaining balance before continuing. If the balance of the account is less than fees that are due, the account is reduced to a zero balance and deactivated.<\/p>\n

            What do the e-wallet fees pay for?<\/b>
            \nThe e-wallet is administered by a third party service provider called Lightstorm. The fees are based on Lightstorm\u2019s requirements and were negotiated by USANA. We do not receive these fees, nor do we benefit financially from your use of an e-wallet account.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
