Sun Prepaid Card Review

Overview

Sun pay as you go Review Rating

The Sun MasterCard is the newest pay as you go prepaid MasterCard card, which only costs an amazing £6.49 to get, The card fees are on a pay as you go basis. The Sun / Tuxedo MasterCard Prepaid Card is a payment Card. It 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. They are also very different from debit cards which are linked to a bank account. This is because you can’t borrow money with a Prepaid Card – you can only spend the money you have loaded onto it.

Good Points

The Sun MasterCard is a flexible ‘pay-as-you-go’ MasterCard card. It can be used at over 25 million retail outlets worldwide.

Work out how many times you are going to use the Sun card as it could work out expensive.
