About

RushCard has truly been a blessing for me and my family. It’s really a lifesaver. I decided to get a RushCard because the fees of those check cashing businesses were ridiculous. I wanted to save money for my family and my kids, so RushCard was the best option. – Nicole J.

Why do I need Visa or MasterCard Prepaid Card?

The prepaid card is a lot safer than carryin cash. When cash is lost, it is gone forever. However, if your prepaid card is ever lost or stolen, you're protected by Visa or MasterCard's no liability policy.

Prepaid Card is an effective money management tool today.

Benefits of Pre-Paid Credit Cards:

Easy to Get. Easy to Use

  1. Getting a card couldn’t be easier. There’s no credit check and no bank account required. When you carry a prepaid card, you can leave your cash at home and enjoy some of the benefits of a bank account without actually having one.

Safer than cash

  1. When you register your card, if your card is lost or stolen, you’re protected from unauthorized purchases. With Zero Liability, you’re not responsible for unauthorized purchases, whether they’re made in-store, by phone, or online. You can’t say that about cash.

More convenient than cash

  1. Use your card to make purchases or everywhere Debit Visa or MasterCard is accepted. Or have your paycheck directly deposited to your registered Everyday Prepaid Card.

Easy to pay bills and manage expenses

  1. No more waiting in line for money orders. Use your card to pay bills and manage your expenses easily with your statement and online financial tools.

Cardholders enjoy the freedom and security of having a prepaid Visa card to make payments, track day-to-day spending, build a positive credit file, and manage their monthly finances.

About Prepaid Cards

Prepaid Visa or MasterCard (also known as stored value cards) are pre-funded reloadable cards. They require payment in advance to the card company, after which the cards can be used until the payment is depleted. The cards can be recharged to be used again. The cards can be used anywhere Visa or MasterCard are accepted and at ATMs worldwide.

There are fees associated with these cards so please read the fees and disclosures for each card when applying.
