The Virgin prepaid card looks just like the Virgin credit card but is a prepayment card that is loaded with money by you or someone else. The Virgin prepaid card looks just like any normal credit or debit card, with a card number, chip and signature strip. But prepaid cards are unlike credit cards, which provide you with a line of credit.

A Virgin Prepaid Card is ideal if you don't want a credit card, or can't get one because you don't have a bank account or your credit rating isn't strong enough.

Spend on it just like you would a credit card and use it wherever you see the MasterCard Acceptance Mark.

The difference is you load it up with your money before you shop instead of paying off your balance later, so you won't spend more than you can afford.

You can choose from a Virgin 'Pay monthly' or 'Pay as you go' tariffs. So whether you plan to use your card a little or a lot, there's an option to suit you.
