Prepaid Cards

Hello everyone

I seem to remember reading a post where someone had listed most of the pre-paid cards that are available, together with charges etc. I've looked & looked but can't find it.

Anyone have a link to it?

Many thanks

    Details are probably out of date for some.

  • Hi tiredanddesperate, we use the Cash Plus MasterCard and it's just what we need. We changed the monthly fee of about £5 for the £1 per transaction, because we don't use it that often and it's perfect. We've even booked a hire car abroad with it which is a first. You have to ring them first but it all went through fine.

    Agree with Jane 0 my recommendadtion would be cashplus and its still the only pre-paid that that protects you on purchases over £100 (the same as credit cards would).
