Review

Pre-paid card that does not require a banking account, but does require advance payments. The processing fee is $19.95. The monthly fee is $4.95 ($59.40 per year). $.50 transaction fee for each purchase with the card. However, there is a free bill pay service for the first 7 transactions each month. $2 U.S. ATM transaction fee (1 free cash withdrawal per month). One of the best features is access to a free credit builder service; this reports bill payment info to a national credit reporting agency, which can help build your credit score.
