Prepaid Credit Cards
Prepaid credit cards are an excellent and secure way of storing money, especially if you can't get or don't want a bank account. They work the same way as a debit or credit card and can be used anywhere in the world where they accept Visa or MasterCard.
With a prepaid credit card there is no need for a credit check, so you won't be the subject to the same hassle as when you try to open some other accounts. This means you can be sure your prepaid card can be set up quickly and easily.

These types of cards are also a great way of distributing money to your child. Pre paid credit cards for kids are a great solution for handing out pocket money and limit the risk of any money getting lost or stolen. You can simply top the card up with money whenever you need to.
This easy top up service is also ideal for students, enabling them to budget easily and avoid the temptation to fall into their overdraft and incur hefty bank charges and debt.
A free prepaid card is also a useful option if you're entering the UK from abroad and need somewhere for your salary or any money you have to be kept securely. As an immigrant coming to the UK it can often be a difficult process to open a bank account, so a prepaid card will offer you somewhere to deposit salary and keep money safe and secure.
Free Prepaid Credit Cards
Most prepaid credit cards consist of just a one-off set up fee with no further charges aside from a small ATM fee. It is also possible to get a prepaid credit card without the set up fee and then pay a monthly fee afterwards. Some of the cards will have both, depending on the benefits they offer.
There are a large number of prepaid credit cards to choose from, each with their own individual benefits and fees. All the prepaid cards we offer allow instant approval if you are over 18 and a UK resident.
