Prepaid Credit Card Market Introduction

Advancements in payment technology and the introduction of prepaid cards have revolutionized the way consumers choose to pay for their purchases. Nowadays, more and more people are inclined towards spending on prepaid cards and prefer making card-based payment instead of cash. In emerging countries like India, debit and credit cards are still extremely popular as they offer quick and an easier alternative over cash-based transactions. However, in several cases the biggest drawback of using debit and credit cards is that people tend to overspend, incurring a huge amount of debt in their accounts. Therefore, to avoid such situations prepaid credit cards have come out as one of the best solutions as they are preloaded with the money and restrict the customers to make purchases beyond the available limit in the prepaid card. It is quite easy to procure a prepaid credit card irrespective of the credit score of a person, income, and bank account. Further, the cardholder can track the activity and usage of prepaid credit card via the Internet-enabled mobile device.
