A monthly fee of $7.50, I believe, and a transaction fee of $2.50 for transaction. Then that is for customers, you don t want to know the paperwork and prove they want to make you a customer. I hope this wasn't directed at me, my idea was getting a prepaid card at 7-11 or a gas station, they charge about 3-7$ to activate and the monthly fee doesn't begin until 6 months after you activate it, online purchases costs $1 per transaction, I would strongly caution people against using money mart style prepaid's. They don't have a ceiling limit you can put on but at the same time it's costing you more than a banks monthly fee! Which in itself is insane how they can charge so much and yes the hidden fees are ridiculous, you'll quickly find yourself not wanting to make small purchases as there are 2.50 charges on those types of pre-loaded credit cards! prepaid, only ones i use, they are either visa prepaid or mastercard prepaid, i prefer the visa as you can save your login info for anytime you want to go online and check the balance, with the vanilla mastercard you have to enter the 16 digit card # as well as the expiry and the 4 digit csv each and every time you want to log in to see your card info.
