This section looks at the various kinds of bank cards currently available; credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards.
It is important you know the difference before deciding which suits your needs best – so choose a card but not any card.
Your financial circumstances, age or whether you plan to use credit will play a large factor in determining which card is right for you. Prepaid cards are relatively new on the market and are increasing in popularity. If you have difficulty in obtaining credit, you may be interested in what a prepaid card can do for you – visit our prepaid cards section for more details.
We will also be analysing the advent of the Tap & Go debit card. It may be a convenient way to avoid carrying loose change, but there are some drawbacks to the card due for national release in 2008. Find out more in our Tap & Go card pages.
