What you need to know about Green Dot prepaid cards
Take note: Depending on where you apply for this card, you may wind up with a Visa or a Mastercard. Luckily, both types of cards are accepted at a lot of different merchants.
Who this card is good for
The Green Dot Prepaid Visa® or Mastercard® is best for those who rarely use cash. If you get paid via direct deposit and use a card for most daily transactions, then this card could be a great choice.
You may also find it a good option if you’re looking for a prepaid card to pay bills online or send money to friends. But if you get paid with cash or need to withdraw cash often, you’ll quickly pile up a lot of fees with this card.
