UK Prepaid Cards - NO ID Verification

[lucy]

UK Prepaid Cards - NO ID Verification -> which ones do you recommend to buy that require NO ID Verification??

I think IDT Prime requires no verification and can be used straight away online, maybe Vanilla Card is the same?

Vanilla mastercard from your local supermarket

Some Boots stock prepaid cards that may be of use to you.

Post Office do the One4All gift card. You can then use that to buy a MasterCard prepaid giftcard. It isn't AVS but has a 5 year expiry.

Does Vanilla need any ID Verification online when it comes to topping it up with funds, is it AVS?

Vanilla cannot be topped up with funds

Which ones you recommend that don’t need ID Verification when it comes to topping up with funds online or in store?

If your using it for buying on eBay I would just make a dedicated buyers account and then add your own card

All reloadable cards as far as I am aware will eventually need ID. The limit varies from card to card but it’s usually not a very high limit before ID is required.

True...like you say ‘All reloadable cards as far as I am aware will eventually need ID’

But the ones you get buy from shops like Vanilla or IDT Prime Card, you can buy in the shop without ID, but they’ll need ID once you hit the initial limit say £150, then you’ll need ID to subsequently top up each time.

Looking at a card to buy online < £150 goods

I dont understand why you wouldnt just use your normal card?

I’m trying to figure out which cards don’t ask for ID Verification, so we can have an updated list here which will help others....people may want to go stealth with online shopping because you don’t want your partner knowing by them looking at the credit card statement or perhaps you want to buy as a gift or simply don’t want the transaction showing up on a statement, they could be multiple reasons, but it’ll be good to have a updated list on here of cards which fit the title thread

Feels like there is more to this....

You have been told the ones that can work though but they will all ask for ID pretty early on
