How to apply for international prepaid debit cards

If you are a frequent traveler, you may need to use an international prepaid debit card. Both VISA and Mastercard offer prepaid cards. You will need to choose a bank that offers the best features and then apply for one. Here’s how to submit a request.

1) Forget credit scores. – You don’t need to have excellent credit scores to apply for an international prepaid card. Such cards are intended to help control your spending. You won’t be charged high interest rates for late payments because you don’t owe the bank money. However, you can enjoy all the benefits of a traditional credit card. Since you are spending the money you have, the banks do not take any risk. Therefore, they do not check your credit scores when you apply for a prepaid card. In fact, once you submit an application, it is almost always approved.

2) Make sure you are of legal age. – To qualify, you must be at least 18 years of age (depending on the country you are in). If you are under 18 and over 16, you need an adult to check in with you. A responsible adult is needed to make sure the applicant knows what they are signing up for.

Once your debit card application has been approved, the card will arrive in your mail within a few business days. You can use the card once you top up the account. You can do this in several ways: bank transfers, PayPal transfers, ACH transfers, etc. Once you have a positive balance in your account, you can take the card with you when you travel and use it internationally (just like a regular credit card).
