my 16yo son, italian citizen will spend since june 18 an year in the usa as exchange student. As far as is forbidden to open a bank account in Italy till you are 18yo and as well is forbidden by law to open a paypal account I was wondering if he could open an us paypal account and get a prepaid paypal credit card as soon as he reach the Usa. Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Sorry, one must be 18 or older.   Here's a snippet from the opening section of the User Agreement:

Not really sure what would work for you, maybe this service would be an option.
