How to get control of your card

Complete control over your money

The prepaid card is not linked to an account and you set the amount of loading yourself. For more secure transactions, load the card only up to the amount of the transaction you are carrying out each time.

This way, if someone steals your card details or a merchant tries to charge you extra, you will only be charged with the amount in the card at the time of the transaction.
