Why can’t I link a debit card to my Walmart MoneyCard account?

There are a few possible reasons why you cannot link a debit card:

The name on the debit card must match the name on the Walmart MoneyCard account.
The debit card must be a Visa or Mastercard card.
You may have mis-entered the card number, expiration date &/or security code so retry linking the card.
The debit card may be expired.
The debit card is not issued by a U.S. bank.
