Brink's Armored Account

Who the Brink's Armored app is for

Brink's Armored Account is the phone app for a Brink's Armored Prepaid Mastercard or a Brink's Armored Account. The listing says it covers cards bought in a store and accounts opened online. Its purpose is to let you see and control the money on the card at any hour.

To begin, you activate a newly issued card in the app and then track your balance and transactions there. The listing describes the app as a way to manage the account, so the same screens cover the card and the account.

Locking a card and getting account alerts

If you misplace a card, you can lock it from the app. Real-time transaction alerts report activity on the account as it happens. The listing also advertises 24-hour ID theft protection as part of the account's security.

Adding money to a Brink's Armored card

You can add funds at retail reload locations, which the listing describes as thousands of places. You can also photograph or capture checks with your phone to load them, and the listing says direct deposit can arrive up to two days early.

The app also lets you earn cash back rewards and send money to friends and family. You can add the card to a digital wallet for use on your phone.

ATM withdrawals and spending with the card

At Brink's Money Network ATMs, the listing says you get one withdrawal a month at no cost. An ATM balance inquiry fee may apply, according to the listing. Pair this with the app's balance and alert features to see what each withdrawal or purchase did to the account.
