Following the link hear
Prepaid cards: best UK offers for 2025 - MoneySavingExpert

It clearly states 
If you're unable to get a bank account, or want a simple way to limit your spending, then a prepaid card is worth considering adding to your wallet.

So where are they then?

Scroll down and you'll see at least two.

I see Ode and Hyperjar.

Also, there are other sites, e.g. https://www.moneysupermarket.com/prepaid-cards/results/

That is what I did. But they require payment via another card. kind of defetes the object really

If you read through the fine print of each card, there's a few that will let you top up the card at your local PayPoint (for a fee) which I believe will accept cash as a payment method.

Thanks!
There was only 2 on that link. so i guess by what you are saying, you need a card to open it up in the first place (first source of funds) which means to do that you need a bank account. then there on where did you see the bit about the paypoint? and how much where there fees?

Sorry, I did a quick Google search and I was looking at the Moneysupermarket list, not the MSE list, see here. The Pay point stuff was buried in the more details section for one or two of the cards.

Pockit was another one that came up when I briefly looked.

Haven't used any of these types of cards before, and I have no plans to use them so I'd recommend you DYOR. No idea if the first top up requires bank/debit card deposit.

Guess you found another option.

Do you remember the names of the one or two cards from moneysupermarket that did paypoint top ups?

DYOR?

PS
Is the forum still down with moneysupermarket?
