Why is a Prepaid Card Better Than Traditional Bank Credit Card?


A Business Insider article stated that many consumers have shifted their preference to prepaid cards as a move to stabilize their finances. Myprepaidcenter was able to appeal strongly to the young market of millennials and Gen Xers. A prepaid card offers an alternative solution to consumers who have no credit history or low credit scores. Since the card’s balance is prepaid, a cardholder can stick to a budget.
