    Most of them work in this way, however these cards to make charges for cash withdrawals, so it may get quite expensive (for you) to keep loading the card if the person is dimply going to pull out cash at an ATM.

    Effectively, YOU are the person controlling it, so you will need to register it to view online the remaining balance and arrange to re-credit as required.
