Compare Our Top-Rated Prepaid Cards

This card securely places itself among the top prepaid cards for currency exchange. Not only can you use the card to spend in 150 currencies, you can also transfer money in 29 currencies – and all at the interbank exchange rate (a flat mark-up at weekends and for certain currencies may apply). Add to that a supportive mobile app, easy application process and fee-free ATM withdrawals up to £200, and you have a competitive multi-currency prepaid card package.

This card is designed to support parents and children alike. Its main benefits are built-in features which will help parents keep control of the account, such as real-time spend notifications, the ability to freeze and unfreeze the account and to decide whether the card can be used in store, online or at an ATM. Meanwhile, children can choose whether to save their money or unlock further funds by completing set tasks. The first month is free, but after that the card carries a £2.99 monthly fee.

This card is transparent in its pricing, with its regular monthly cost of 99p. For this fee, you have the ability to pay in your wages and benefits, make card purchases in store and online wherever Mastercard is accepted, and access the Pockit app. Keeping it simple, there is a cost of 99p for other services too, such as paying with cash or making UK ATM withdrawals. Extras, such as up to three additional cardholders and cashback on qualifying purchases, help to sweeten the deal.

The Deluxe version of this card offers a wide range of prepaid card features for a monthly account fee of £9.95. With this you can benefit from the credit rebuilder features, potentially qualify for an iDraft overdraft facility, and use the basic account features, such as those for making payments, transfers and direct debits. In addition to this, users can load their account with cash at any Post Office branch.
