6 Easiest Prepaid Debit Cards to Get for Teens

5. Green Dot Prepaid Visa

Issued by Green Dot Bank, this card is pretty transparent with what you can use it for and how much it’s going to cost you. To start things off, you’re going to be able to use it to shop online, pay bills or for whatever purchases you want to make on a daily basis. The balance can be checked via a mobile phone app, which makes it easy to control. Furthermore, withdrawals can be made via some 22,000 MoneyPass ATMs, and they’re free. Withdrawals from outside this network will be charged so you might want to avoid them if you can.

You can get the card in stores, but there’s going to be a price attached to it, or order it online for free. In order to use the card, you will have to pay $5.95, although you’ll be able to waive this fee if you load at least $1,000 on the card or have 30 qualified purchases posted.

Adding money to the card is free if you pick “direct deposit” of your paycheck or government benefits, but it will cost you an extra $4.95 if you do it via a store.
