smiONE partners with state and local government agencies to give you fast, easy, and secure access to your funds on the smiONE Card. You can add other funds with direct deposit or mobile check load¹, withdraw cash, transfer funds to authorized users, and make purchases in stores and online wherever Visa debit cards are accepted.
