# Let's start

{% hint style="info" %}
**Quick onboarding** This section describes the basic steps required to start using **Linora** from the first login to the first card creation.
{% endhint %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Step 1: Create an account

To start using **Linora**:

1. Visit [**linora.finance**](https://linora.finance/)
2. Complete the account registration process
3. Sign in to the **Linora** dashboard

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important** Account registration is **not available** in the mobile application. New users must register via **Linora.finance**.
{% endhint %}
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 2: Access on mobile

Once your account is created, you can sign in using:

* the **web dashboard**, or
* the **Linora mobile application**

The mobile app provides access to your existing account and mirrors core platform functionality.

> **Note** If you open the mobile app without an account, you will see a **“Register via Linora.finance”** button that redirects to the website.
> {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 3: Fund your account

After signing in:

* create a wallet balance via supported deposit methods,
* allocate funds to one or more virtual cards.

> **Reminder** Payments cannot be made directly from the wallet balance. Funds must be allocated to a **card balance** first.
> {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 4: Create your first card

Create a virtual card by:

* choosing a card name,
* assigning a card balance,
* confirming the creation.

Once created, the card becomes available for use.

> **Note** Card fees, limits, and balance requirements are described in the Cards section.
> {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Step 5: Start using the card

Once a card is funded, it can be used for:

* online payments,
* subscription services,
* everyday card-based transactions.
  {% endstep %}
  {% endstepper %}

**What to expect next**

After completing these steps, you can:

* create additional cards,
* manage balances across cards,
* monitor card usage from the dashboard.

> **Next steps** Detailed card management options are covered in the Cards and Dashboard sections.
