What is the difference between a prepaid and a regular Visa credit card?
Although the cards can be used in the same way, there are some significant differences in prepaid and regular credit cards. With a regular credit card, you make your purchases on credit and then pay your bill later. If you do not pay the bill in full each month, or are late making a payment, there will be fees accrued in the form of interest and late fees. With a prepaid credit card, you deposit money much the same way you would with a checking or savings account. Then when you use your prepaid credit card, the charges are deducted from your balance. When you start to run low on your balance, you can just deposit more money in your account. In this way, prepaid credit cards operate much the same as debit cards. You will probably have to pay an initial fee to set up your prepaid credit card account, but after that you avoid the possibility of interest and late fee charges. This is also a good way to rebuild your credit if you have had financial difficulties in the past.
