Practical Money Guide:
Prepaid Card Basics

A prepaid card is a card you load with money to make purchases anywhere a debit card is accepted. It's a safe alternative to carrying cash and paying check-cashing fees. In lieu of traveler's checks, prepaid cards can be good options for traveling. They're also a popular gift-giving idea because recipients can use them for whatever they want, and they're widely accepted.
