Melanie - I do agree that the Secure Trust card has many benefits and of the pre-paid cards available currently, is definitely one of the best.
ClearCash, also a MasterCard pre-paid, has been built on considering all elements of what is currently available, but has additional, unique benefits which demonstrate our understanding of the level of support which can be given to people using such cards.
With so much interest on iva.co.uk about the pre-paid cards available, would everyone here like us to organise an event during which we can debate the contents of pre-paid cards on the market and how they do/don't service clients to their best abilities?
The event could be in a neutral space, or even online to enable all forum members to log-on and particpate.
By the way Kallis13 it does offer Internet access and holders of the card can operate 24/7 their account.
Ivas4us- It does not offer Direct Debit facilities because of the cost of same, however users can pay anyone who has a bank account and can also set up regular payments to anyone.
It is cheaper than the Secure Trust card and can do whatever you can do with Secure Trust (who use an account and a card) by utilising its own one stop card. It also as indicated has many more valuable functions and the cashback and discount facilities should ensure that net of all expenditure it probably won't cost you anything (obviously depending on your spending patterns).
I believe this new and effective tool available on the market from this week onwards is going to help people who are struggling financially at what I consider to be a reasonable cost (which in the main can be re-couped). Its unique money management tool will be a godsend.
