With a prepaid card, you load funds onto your Card and use that money to make purchases and get cash - you are not borrowing money from a bank or other financial institution. The prepaid credit card looks like a credit card - it has the Visa or MasterCard logo and hologram -and allows the convenience of cashless purchases like a signature-based credit card, with no PIN input required at the point-of-sale. 4, record 2, English, - prepaid%20credit%20card

Pre-paid credit cards are like secured credit cards in that you must deposit your own money to use. However, pre-paid credit cards do not offer a chance to extend you credit like a secured credit card does. Secure credit cards always report to the major credit bureaus where pre-paid credit cards always do not, unless you pay extra. 5, record 2, English, - prepaid%20credit%20card
