Can I ask why does it have to be a top up card and not a debit card from a bank account?

I dont quite understand your question!

I mean it can be any type of card really; visa, American express est, so long as I can add money to it in the form of cash. So I can then use the card in shops and online and even withdraw from a hole in a wall half way round the world

Like a debit card, linked to a bank account?

You ask about pre loaded debit cards - and you have received a few replies about them .
A debit card from a bank would do the same thing - especially if you wanted to pay cash via an ATM Post office or a Branch.

But Im closing my bank account down so, so that will no longer be an option

Can I ask why, given that a regular current account with an associated debit card would seem to be the easiest, cheapest & most straightforward way to do what you appear to want ?

It's a very, very, bad idea to close down your only bank account without opening another one.

Funding with cash is the problem. Why do you want to do that? You can do it with this one without registration:

You will have to pay £3 per month, and the UK version of an EU rule limits you to a maximum of £40 per payment (to limit the usefulness to money launderers). You will also be stung if you make foreign currency payments. The mainstream banks are all worried about being fined for not doing enough to stop money laundering. They do not want anonymous customers.

As I said before, I am closing down my bank account

I dont plan on opening or having another bank account

They dont want customers at all!; they want slaves

Unlike the prepaid/ecash offerings, who want freedom?
