What is a prepaid card

As everybody knows, "Prepaid" refers to services paid for in advance. A prepaid card is not really a credit card, as no credit is offered by the card issuer: the card-holder spends money which has been "stored" on the card via his own prior deposit. These cards are similar to gift cards, but are issued with a credit card logo such as Visa or MasterCard and can, unlike gift cards, be used anywhere a Visa or Mastercard may be used. They are very similar to a debit or check card except that they don't require a checking account to be issued one. They have been heavily marketed in the United States as a safe and responsible means for parents to give their children some spending power which is why they sometimes are referred to as teen cards. These cards are also sometimes referred to as "open loop" cards. Stored value credit cards are usually not anonymous. They have to be enrolled under the cardholder's name and are mailed by the issuer to the cardholder's address.
