Pre-pay Credit Cards

Home > Finance > Credit Cards > Pre-pay Credit Cards

The invention of the Pre-Paid credit card has several advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of having this type of card is that you can have an instant credit card without worrying about the usual credit check.

This is good for someone with bad credit who can not get approved for an unsecured credit card. Unlike a secured credit card, the person doesn’t have to have a bank account or deposit money.

Pre-Paid credit cards can be purchased at most private owned shipping and mailbox businesses, retail drug stores such as Walgreen’s, CVS, Rite Aid and many other businesses. This type of card can also be purchased online.

This is also recommended for the person who can not open a bank account due to credit issues. Many jobs require that a person receive direct deposit. Now, if a person can not approve for a bank account how can they receive their pay? Companies like GreenDot offer a solution by offering direct deposit for those who need it. This is perfect because there are no additional cashing fees that a person would normally be charged if they cashed their check at a check cashing store. The monthly fee is less than $5 per month. A person can order pizza, airline tickets or anything where credit cards are accepted.

Another advantage is that this helps a person to establish or re-establish their credit. Some Pre-Paid credit card firms offer services where the consumer can have their monthly account activity reported to major credit bureaus. All the person has to do is maintain a certain balance in their account.
