Debit Cards and Credit RepairPrepaid debit cards are an excellent way to manage your finances when you are in the process of rebuilding your credit. Using these type of cards rather than credit cards will help you control your spending and budgeting until you are ready to obtain and get approvals for traditional credit cards. Also, with identity theft and credit-card fraud a major concern these days, travelers find these type of cards a good way to relieve stress about financial transactions when traveling. Mastercard and Visa offer credit-free alternatives to their traditional cards that are sold in either set denominations or as personalized reloadable accounts. The cards function much the same way as regular credit/ATM cards and can be used to make purchases wherever Visa and MasterCard are accepted. Prepaid cards also work in ATMs to withdraw cash or foreign currency. Another advantage to carrying prepaid debit cards is if lost or stolen, the PIN-protected cards are relatively risk-free. These cards are easier and less expensive to obtain and use than traditional travelers checks and provide better exchange rates and are more widely accepted. One reason the cards are safer than other forms of plastic is because they hold only as much value as was deposited. Because prepaid debit cards are not linked to your other accounts, there's no chance for a thief to use data to access other financial records. These accounts are simple to open, even for people whose credit is bad. Although the accounts don't typically entail annual fees or interest charges, their convenience does come at a cost. Merchants pay the same 3 percent or 4 percent transaction fee as for credit cards and cardholders can pay activation fees or a few dollars every time money is added to the account or withdrawn from an ATM. Here are descriptions of some of the leading prepaid card offers available:
* Obtaining Your Card: The USA PATRIOT Act is a federal law that requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens a Card Account. What this means for you: When you open a Card Account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver's license or other identifying documents. "Guaranteed Approval" is contingent upon successfully passing this mandatory identification confirmation.
