?What can I use my Prepaid MasterCard for?

Suitable for businesses and individuals alike, this handy card can be used for:

Wages – you can choose to be paid onto your card or if you're an employer you can pay your staff straight onto their cards
Travel – much safer than travellers' cheques and cash when you're abroad
Expense management – pay for your expenses as you go rather than clocking up a hefty credit card balance
