Prepaid Card Updated

What are prepaid cards?

A prepaid card resembles a debit or credit card, but holds a finite amount of funds and is not directly tied to a bank account or line of credit.


These cards typically can only be used for purchases under or equal to the card balance and are typically terminated upon reaching this initial balance.


Marqeta provides prepaid cards with dynamic spend controls and Just-in-Time Funding to optimize cash flow and mitigate payment fraud.
