Pre-loaded debit card options?

anotherbob

I want to give a family member a sum of money on a debit card which can be used for day to day spending. Can anyone advise please.

Thanks for this. I'm looking at Tesco Clubcard Pay+ and I can't see if it is possible to use it at an ATM. Is this possible?

Yes, according to page 6 at https://www.tescobank.com/assets/clubcard-pay-plus-terms-and-conditions/clubcard-pay-plus-terms-and-conditions.pdf

I'm most grateful, many thanks.

What about Revolut, you load it up and off you go. I used for my son to take when he went on a school trip, you can switch the contactless off and on.

Excellent idea mser's
Think I'll try pre load next year for some shopping.
Are most cards Contactless compatible to avoid rejected transactions.

Starling bank allow you to have a debit card assigned to another person which can only spend from one of the pots that the account owner sets up and funds.

Wouldn't trust the likes of Revolut, especially for anyone who is not very financially aware. Banking choice of your local scammer.

Not sure what you're referring to as an excellent idea as such, but the above posts relate specifically to OP's requirement to gift someone else some money, rather than for more generic purposes, so such cards aren't necessarily the most appropriate for other uses.
