# Where You Can Use the PEX Card

> You can use your PEX card in the United States (50 States and the District of Columbia) wherever prepaid Visa debit cards are accepted.

Your Administrator must authorize International use of the PEX Card (i.e., anywhere outside the 50 States and the District of Columbia) prior to attempting to spend internationally. Contact your Administrator to use the PEX card outside of the United States.

<Note>
  **Note:**

  The Federal Government and our banking partners block use of the card in certain sanctioned jurisdictions (like Iran), and in countries where there is high risk of money-laundering and financial fraud (like Nigeria).
