How Do I Qualify for KoraCard?

KoraCard* is a cash back virtual card just for college students with rewards!

What is a Virtual Card?

Virtual cards are designed for online and other card-not-present transactions. Think of the KoraCard as a card that lives on your phone. It has a 16-digit card number, expiration date and security code for online shopping.

We've built in some protective measures (against losing your card; against card theft), which you can review here.

How Do I Qualify?

You must be 18+ years of age and enrolled in college or a university.

What are the Perks?

When you shop in the Kora app using your KoraCard, you can earn cash back rewards powered by Dosh.

What is Dosh?
