The new MeCard MasterCard is the perfect way to give your teenage son or daughter a prepaid card. A parent MeCard is linked to up to three teen MeCards and features an online account where you, the parent, can check teen balances and top up with pocket money whenever its needed.

As a parent you can even monitor your teenagers spending history and help them learn how to manage money wisely.

The MeCard is the perfect solution for teens:

-Who enjoy shopping or gaming online

-When they go on school trips, the card is accepted internationally

-Who use PAYG phones

The MeCard is a prepaid card which means it has some important differences from your average debit or credit card. Prepaid cards have no overdraft facility, so your teenager will not be able to spend more money than they have loaded. What’s more, there is no credit check needed to open a MeCard, you just need to provide your full name and UK home address to sign-up.

You can top up cards easily by three secure methods:

-By debit card using your online account.

-At any of the 23,500 PayPoint outlets nationwide.

-By BACS: to set up a single or regular payment to your MeCards.

The MeCard is accepted worldwide, where ever you see the MasterCard acceptance mark. All this plus special MeCard promotions and give-aways make the card a great balance between educational tool and cool new accessory.
