Visa's alternative to Greendot

Anyone seen these? I haven't seen em before and I checked em out. They look pretty promising (At least from what I can read on the cardboard)

The cards say they can do the following:

Direct Deposit
Hold funds like a bank
Do ACH Transfers
Basically greendot...

Lol, I thought it was paypal, the sucky part is they use metabank which paypal doesn't lik very much. How about you try it and let us know if it works?

looked at the website, and it requires a ssn (at least if you get it online) I would guess that is the case too if you buy in a store and want to setup ACH, but who knows. let us know how it goes

if the do require ssn...wouldn't this be the same thing as opening a checking account and getting a debit card?

Blame the PATRIOT act. All reloadable credit cards requires SSN now, at least ones with Direct Deposit enabled.

I didn't actually buy them yet. And speaking of the P. Act, doesnt that mean if you bought a prepaid card in the UK you could still be anonymous?

@'Dino - are these cards on display at a Walmart? Just asking because I am looking to take a trip to your sacred land soon and worth a test =) ha

Register online with SSN?

I registered on the website for the card and put my ssn and everything. I will check it out and test it and hope it works in a few weeks.
