The Rush Card is a type of prepaid card Cheap Air Force 1 White , which offers all the convenience of a card, without the debt that a standard visa card can often bring. The card is issued by the Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, and is only available to residents of the USA (except Vermont).
As it is prepaid, cardholders have to deposit their own money into their account, before they can start using it. This differs from a regular, unsecured card Cheap Air Force 1 Black , as you are not being offered a line of credit – you can only spend what you have.
Cards such as these are generally aimed at people who have had previous problems managing their money, andor have been refused for an unsecured card in the recent past.

This gives them instant access on payday, can save a small fortune of check cashing fees, and is a lot easier than queuing in the bank every payday.
Other ways of depositing funds include at a designated MoneyGram location (a full list of these can be found online), via bank transfer from another account Cheap Air Force 1 Red , by sending a check or money order to the address of the card provider, and by loading funds from your PayPal account.
