Green Dot 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.

    According to their billing FAQ they accept debit cards but not prepaid ones. You can try opening an account and see if they will accept it.
