displayed.

other credit card and does not have Prepaid printed on it.
Is there a limit
to the amount I can load onto the card ?
Yes, the current limit is £ 5000 (GBP
- £'s Sterling) per transaction.
What is a Prepaid
Credit Card ?
Unlike traditional credit cards, the
prepaid MasterCard or Visa does not extend credit to the card holder. Instead,
accounts are prepaid for a specific amount, while being backed by MasterCard or
Visa for near universal acceptance. The card works in much the same way as a
prepaid mobile phone card.
What if I have
bad credit ?
Credit is not a determining factor as
no actual credit facility is given. All UK applicants apply for a prepaid card
are accepted regardless of past or present credit history subject to identity
and address verification.
Are all prepaid
card transactions and deposits insured ?
Yes, transactions and deposits are
fully insured by the issuing bank.
Will I receive a
monthly statement for my prepaid card account ?
Since the card is a prepaid card, you
will not receive any monthly statements as there are no minimum monthly
payments. However, you can access account information online or check your card
balance at any ATM machine bearing the MasterCard or Visa logo. Your online
account will supply you with a history of all your transactions.
What charges are
payable for the prepaid card use ?
Whereas with a normal credit card banks
make their profits based on interest charges, as there is no interest to charge
there are small charges for particular uses made by the account holding bank -
please refer to the terms and conditions for your preferred card.
I have previously
applied for a prepaid card but have been disappointed ?
Unfortunately, some companies have
employed misleading tactics and offered Maestro Cards, Cirrus Cards and VISA
Electron Cards as opposed to full MasterCard or VISA branded cards - some
companies only offer virtual internet cards where you receive a card number
only. e-Debit Card 4 All.com are authorised affiliates for all prepaid card
schemes offered on this site.
