How do prepaid cards work?
firstthere uses Prepaid MasterCard® Cards to help you manage your money easily.
A prepaid card is the debit card equivalent of a 'Pay as You Go' Mobile Phone. It can be used at any Point Of Sale, ATM or online store worldwide where MasterCard® is accepted. This means that your money can be accessed quickly and simply whenever you want and wherever you are.
A prepaid card must be loaded with funds prior to use; it cannot be overdrawn and has no credit facility. It is ideal for temporary or migrant workers as it can be issued without any credit checks or fuss.
You are in no danger of getting into debt with the card and the money on it is your money. There is no credit facility and only you control the money on your card. In effect it is like being paid in cash, only very securely and with many more benefits to you.
