How can I get cash into my Cashplus card? I need it in NOW

I want to book flights with Ryanair and see that I can use my prepaid and avoid those darned fees.

I had this already to build my credit...sooooooo...how can I get money in there instantly? I tried the post office but that takes like a day :((

    I would guess that's about as quick as you can do it as the servers will update overnight to load your card. Alternatively, if the card is supplied by a specific bank then maybe it would update quicker in branch?

    There are 5 ways to top it up. The quickest way is by using a cashplus store, here is the link

    If you don`t have a store handy the next quickest way is by bank transfer, usually there the same day but not guaranteed. I have used a cashplus store and the money is available virtually straight away.

    With my Cashplus card I can put money on it at the Post Office.

    That is one of the 5 ways I mentioned, but it is not usually available till the next working day.

    Strange...usually took one working day with mine
    It’s easy:
    • Just go to your nearest branch
    • Hand over your Cashplus prepaid card and the amount of cash you want to top up
    • Top up your Cashplus account with any amount between £10 and £500 per day, up to a maximum balance of £5,000
    • Ask for a receipt to keep for your records
    • If we have your mobile phone number, we’ll text you when your money is ready
    Your money is usually available in one business day, unless you pay on a Saturday. If you need the money in your Cashplus account quicker, top up at a Cashplus store – your money will be available in minutes!
