Finance: Card.com Prepaid Visa Card w/ Designs | The Bancorp Bank

Disclosure: This is a sponsored post.

CARD.com, a Bancorp Bank company offers prepaid Visa cards with personality and I must say I really enjoy using it. To me the best part was how easy the getting started process was and looking through all the cool designs they have to offer (which made it very hard to decide). I didn't have any trouble getting the card, the only issue I had was trying to access my account online after I set it up. I thought I created a password for my account during the setup process but apparently I didn't because my password was still set to the pre-selected one, so I had to request a reset (which was very quick and easy) to access my card history and account information online. In general I think it's a good product and a very nice alternative to a traditional checking account. If you know you'll be direct depositing at least $800 a month I would defiantly recommend this company.

Getting Started

To get started you just go to Card.com, browse through all of the card designs they have to offer and select the one you like most. I went with the "Made in the 80's"design because.... well, I was and I liked the retro look. Once you have chosen your card the next step is applying for your card and setting up your account and that should only take a minute or so. They do require a valid SS# to get a card so be ready to enter it.. After that, your card will be processed and shipped to you if there are no issues with creating your account. 

Receiving Card

The shipping for the card was simple and really quick! It took less than a week (which is really good compared to most card companies) for me to receive my card and there was no issues with getting it delivered. The card comes in a very discreet envelope with all the information you need to know about using your card including a semi-pre-filled direct deposit form.

Activating & Using

There is a easy to use 800 # listed on the card for you to activate your card. You may also go online to active your card but I chose the phone method. Just like with a regular bank, the card comes with a checking account # and a routing # (cool right?). There is a $6 monthly maintenance fee for having this card which is waved each month if you have a direct deposit of at least $800. Also you can load funds to your card using the Card.com website, Western Union or Green Dot MoneyPak.

Some Card Features

• No overdraft, late or penalty fees
• No minimum balance
• Access to ATMs worldwide
• Free direct deposit
• Funds are FDIC Insured

Beauty Trends: Pixie Cut or Bob...Which Would You Rock?

Butterflies, are you considering a big chop? Well join the club, Texas born and raised musical artist Beyoncé hair has been the the topic of discussion for many of her fans (and critics too) because she recently debuted a new hairstyle. There were a few pictures posted to her Instagram about two weeks ago that got everyone talking hair, it's like the biggest thing since the whole natural hair movement began (but not really lol). I did a big chop a few years ago prior to starting my natural hair journey and I loved how convenient my pixie cut was, it was actually easier to maintain than natural hair is contrary to what people believe. 

Anyway, I guess everyone is so use to seeing Beyoncé with her long/curly hair that they're in shock she decided to change it up, the picture (below) is a photo of Beyoncé rocking a short  "pixie cut". Just a few days ago more photos were posted to Bey's Instagram, this time of her rocking a "bob cut". I think they're both cute! Anyway, which would you rock?
