More offers for prepaid cards* are coming your way:
  • Prepaid cards are not covered
    by the CARD Act.
    Which Congress passed in 2010
    to limit certain credit card fees.
  • Prepaid cards are not regulated
    by the Durbin Amendment.
    A law that limits the fees banks can
    charge retailers when customers
    swipe their debit cards.
 
* It never takes the greedy long to find ways around new rules
intended to protect the public.
