What is a prepaid card?
There are no fees for topping up the card, and payments are fast, secure, and discreet.

Cards can be divided into debit, credit, and prepaid cards:

  • Debit cards are linked to your bank account, and the amount is deducted immediately with each transaction.

  • Credit cards allow you to pay in installments. They are linked to a bank or financial institution, not directly to your account. The card issuer covers your expenses, and you pay them back later.

  • Prepaid cards work on a top-up principle: you load the desired amount in advance and spend it as needed.

Prepaid card – the best alternative to cash

With a prepaid card, you spend only what you have previously loaded onto it.

The card has a chip for instant identification and payment, enabling fast and secure cashless transactions without the need for a bank account. It’s ideal for controlled spending, online shopping, and travel.
