Green Dot Credit Card

The Green Dot credit card is a prepaid card offered by the Green Dot Corporation, which is a member of Columbus Bank and Trust Company. Compared to other prepaid credit cards the Green Dot card has very low fees. The activation fee is only $9.95, to put money on the card you can purchase a fill-up at CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Meijer, Wal-Mart, and many other retail locations, or you can put money on your prepaid card for free with direct deposit.

A list of the fees:

Annual Fee: None

Reload with Direct Deposit: None

Reload at a Retail Store with MoneyPak: $4.95

Monthly Maintenance: $4.95 for unlimited purchases

Transaction Fee: None

Automated Phone Balance Inquiry: $0.75

ATM Balance Inquiry: $0.50

ATM Withdrawal: $2.50

The reason why people get a prepaid credit card is because they don’t have a checking account or a debit card. A prepaid card works the same way as a debit card so if you can I would recommend getting a debit card over a prepaid one, because they don’t have nearly as many fees.

Overall the Green Dot card is a pretty good prepaid card, because its fees are a lot lower than most prepaid ones. You can use your Green Dot prepaid card anywhere Visa is accepted.
