Prepaid cards are simply a plastic alternative to carrying money. A prepaid card is not linked to a bank checking account or to a credit union share draft account. They are not a credit card so you can’t run up debts on them.

They have the MasterCard/Visa/UnionPay logo on them so that you can spend with them anywhere that accepts these card scheme networks just like with a debit or credit card. You will have a PIN to enter when you withdraw cash or pay for items with the card

Prepaid cards can also be used to shop online
