There's a good MSE article on prepaid cards here: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cards/prepaid-cards

Also have a look at this comparison website: http://www.what-prepaid-card.co.uk/

I would recommend getting them as a last resort if you really cannot get a debit card.

Hi Poptart,

From personal experience, I can recommend the Cashplus Prepaid Mastercard which is widely accepted.

It also comes with Creditbuilder, which is a facility that you can choose to add to the card that could help repair and improve a poor credit history/rating.

never-in-doubt

Tuxedo is good cos you can use it like a mainstream account with wages going in / direct debits etc and you get a debit and credit card (maestro & mastercard)... plus fee's aren't too high tbh....
