Visa Prepaid Cards
Visa Prepaid cards make the perfect gift 
 
If you can’t decide what to get for that tricky-to-buy-for friend or relative a Visa Prepaid card will make the perfect present. 
 
Visa Prepaid cards come pre-loaded with funds and can be used wherever Visa is electronically accepted: at retailers, online, over the phone, overseas and in some cases at ATMs, which makes them much more convenient than cash or cheques. 
 
There are two types of Prepaid card: disposable, to simply be used until the balance has been spent, and reloadable, which can be reloaded with funds again and again. 
 
They don’t just make great presents. These versatile cards can be used to preset sensible spending levels for teenagers; or as a convenient way of allocating company expenses; or as the perfect alternative to cumbersome travellers cheques and foreign currencies on overseas holidays.
