    think you misinterpreted my ??

    The links I posted state what prepay cards are available at the moment and also compares them, not sure how that's not relevant but there you go :confused:

    I can't see that this gives any advantages whatsoever over a debit card, and has the major disadvantage that it's robbing you of a percentage of your money. At least with a debit card, you can have the money earning a bit of interest in your bank account (and even if the interest is paltry, at least it's not actually costing you money. It seems to me that this is just another way of exploiting society's most disadvantaged people - they'd be better off with a basic bank account and a debit card.

    Or maybe this is leading the way toward a cashless society ;)

    Very worrying I would say..
  • Do not look at https://www.moneyexpert.com - They only promote cards from this company called bluecorner.

    If you want to have a look, see http://www.which-prepaid-card.co.uk These guys provide an independent review. You will see that the Splash Plastic, Cashplus and Quidity cards are by far the best. Splash Plastic is my card of choice as it does not charge a transaction fee on expenses.
