Prepaid cards provide many benefits here are just a few:

Our Prepaid Card is NOT a Credit Card, it is a top up card, just like a mobile phone, except you spend the money loaded onto it anywhere MasterCard® is accepted.

There are no credit checks, no lengthy application processes or waiting.

firstprepay Prepaid Cards are a smarter way to pay than cash when transacting over the internet or over the phone. Unlike your credit or debit card, if your identity is stolen, the damage is limited.

You probably don’t realise that your debit or credit card charge you an additional fee of about 3% on top of the exchange rate when you use them abroad. When you use our prepaid card, foreign exchange costs nothing - yes 0%!

Don't worry about carrying cash or losing it - carry your cash safely with our prepaid card and if you lose it, call and tell us and we'll send out a new card.

Allow your teenagers to transport money safely on a card, not in cash. If they lose their card, we will send a replacement.

If a friend or relative is abroad or away from home, you can immediately supply them with money on the card from anywhere and at anytime.

Since this is a Prepaid Card, and not a credit card, the amount you can spend is limited to the amount put onto the card. This means you can't just "go overboard" without realising it, which gives you great peace of mind.

Give your teenager an awareness of budgeting and how to control money in a safe way. Don’t just keep giving and giving, place an amount onto the card at regular times, like pocket money, and teach them to measure how they use it.

You or any relative or anyone in fact, can put cash onto a firstprepay prepaid card as a gift for a special occasion. This is faster and safer than receiving a cheque or giving plain cash.

Over 29 million merchants all over the world, including shopping malls, movie theatres and all kinds of restaurants, accept your firstprepay Prepaid Card. You can also use it to purchase goods and services on the Internet.
