Prepaid credit cards have been growing in popularity over the past few years. But despite the 'credit card' name, no credit is actually involved. Here's how it work's.
When a standard credit card is used, you pay for the convenience of being able to purchase items without saving the money up first. The issuing bank is basically lending you money , to be repayed on a regular basis. But with a prepaid credit card, there is no line of credit or loan. Instead, the user will make deposits to their bank account, and then use the credit card to withdraw that money for purchases. Why would you use a prepaid credit card if you don't actually get any credit?
A prepaid credit card is a excellent choice if you want to be able to make purchases online without taking the risk of giving unknown merchants your credit card information and access to your credit line. Lots of people today are sensitive to online credit fraud, and this is one of several ways around it. But be aware though, many merchants that require you to make monthly payments will not accept a prepaid card for purchases.
A prepaid credit card is also an great way to provide a weekly or monthly spending allowance to a child away from home, let's say, at college. The student has the convenience of being able to charge different items on the card, and you can easily have control over the amount that the child spends by the amount of the deposits made to the account. This will go a long way in teaching them how to manage their money.
If you have decided that a prepaid credit card is the right choice for you, there are a lot of options available that can offer you varying benefits. Perhaps you're looking to repair or restore your credit. Could be you want a way to give your away-from-home student a monthly allowance. No matter what your reason, why not choose a prepaid credit card that allows you to earn income at the same time?
Prepaid Credit Cards That Help You Restore Your Credit
Not every financial institution that issues stored value credit cards makes reports to credit agencies about your spending history. If part of your reason for applying for a prepaid card is to repair your credit history, make sure you choose a company that does make reports. There are also a number of issuing companies that offer credit reporting as an add-on service for an additional fee.
Prepaid Credit Cards That Pay You Back
Some major financial institutions will offer you a prepaid credit card with an opportunity to make income. They offer a rebate on spending, or a referral program. If you don't need to build your credit, and believe that your income through spending rebates and referrals will exceed the annual
membership fees, then these types of cards might be a excellent choice for you.
What ever your reason for choosing a prepaid credit card, be sure that you shop around to get the best deal, and that you check out the financial institution to make certain that they are a reputable business.
