Pre-Paid Visa® Cash Card

Guaranteed Approval No Credit Check, Bank Account, or Security Deposit Required No Interest Charges or Late Fees Prepaid, with Easy Loading Options

Review: The Pre-Paid Visa® Cash Card, issued by Four Oaks Bank & Trust Company, is a stored value card designed for those who may have difficulty in obtaining a standard unsecured credit card and do not need to build or establish their credit. The card requires a banking account to be opened when applying online or a security deposit to be made through the mail. It also requires payments in advance, which are then used to offset future purchases made with the card. Advance payments can be funded directly from the cardholder's paycheck and automatically loaded to the card every pay period. The card can also be loaded with another credit card, with a U.S. postal money order via mail, or by making a cash deposit using the approved deposit slip. Each time the card is loaded a fee is applied to the account. There is no interest applied on the account, no annual fee, and no other similar charges found with most unsecured credit cards. There is an application fee of $59.95, a processing fee of $90, and a minimum initial deposit of $10. There is also a monthly participation fee of $3.95 that amounts to $47.40 annually. In total, cardholders can expect to pay $197.35 in fees the first year. There are fewer qualifications required compared to other unsecured credit cards, such as a no credit check policy and no bank account requirement. The only requirement is a verifiable address in the United States. Therefore, those who are looking for a stored value card where they can pay in advance for purchases, do not mind paying upfront fees, and do not need to build credit may find the Pre-Paid Visa® Cash Card to be a beneficial option.
