The Alaska Permanent Fund provides KeyBank the funds for the Permanent Fund Dividend program. Once KeyBank receives those funds from the State, the funds are deposited to your prepaid card account based upon the funding date determined by the State.
If you need more information regarding the timing of the dividend’s disbursement, please go to the PFD website at Permanent Fund Division.
Once you receive and activate your Key2Prepaid card, you can log in to Key2Prepaid.com to set up notifications for funding, account balances, transaction history and more.
Have you activated your card? If not, please call the automated activation service using the number on the back of your card and follow the prompts to activate your card and select a PIN.

Check the balance on your card by logging on to Key2Prepaid.com or by calling the number on the back of your card, and following the automated prompts to check your balance. If the funds on your card are below the amount you are trying to spend, your card will be declined.
If you need to make a purchase for more than the amount you have on your Key2Prepaid card, you will need to use a second form of payment. Tell the cashier how much you want taken from the balance on your card — the cashier cannot determine your available balance. Then, pay the remaining balance with another payment method. Split transactions are only available at participating retailers.
Have you activated your card? It must be activated, and a PIN must be set for the card to work. Call the automated activation service using the number on the back of your card and follow the prompts to activate your card and select a PIN.
If you have previously activated your card, there are several reasons why a card could become restricted. In each of these scenarios, KeyBank does not have visibility into the cause of the card restriction, but we are happy to help you when you call the number on the back of your card.
Some common card restriction issues are:
- A suspicious transaction that has been flagged as potential fraud
- A card has exceeded the total maximum number of PIN entry attempts (3) and is now blocked from PIN transactions (ATM withdrawals or PIN authorizations at a merchant terminal)
- A card has exceeded the maximum number of consecutive declines for non-PIN / signature transactions (3), and has been restricted from non-PIN / signature transactions
- A card has been restricted because it was reported lost or stolen. A replacement card is reordered when the cardholder calls the number on the back of the card to report the card lost or stolen at the cardholder’s request.
You can log in to the Permanent
Fund Division

Payments made inside with a clerk clear for the actual transaction amount immediately. Similar maximum holds may be placed on transactions at restaurants and car rentals. Refer to the Terms and Conditions for additional information.
In most cases, a purchase that exceeds the available balance on your Key2Prepaid card will not be approved. In very limited circumstances, if you do not have sufficient funds when the final amount clears, it may result in a negative balance; however, you will not be charged an overdraft fee.
