How Best to Manage Student Funds
Start with a budget plan. Then use pre-paid cards as your money card to pay for books, food, supplies and other college expenses. The card can be loaded with just your monthly spend to avoid debt.
Students can avoid debt problems by using pre-paid cards to manage student funds:
budget your monthly spending amounts
avoid interest rate charges
avoid getting into credit and debt problems
manage your account online
build up your credit reporting history
use where credit cards are accepted
Student or parent gets a
prepaid card
for student's use in college (approval guaranteed). Student or parent adds spending money to the card.
Student uses card
to buy food, supplies, pizza, etc., at any merchant that accepts MC/VISA cards.
Student or parent can monitor pre-paid
account electronically
for budgeting purposes. Pre-paid cards can help maintain a spending budget.
Student or parent can reload the card with additional monthly spending funds as needed.
Using pre-paid cards protect the
student from accumulating credit card debt.
Students can use
pre-paid cards to build a credit history for future credit approval on auto loans, employment,
home mortgages, etc.
