UPside Visa is a reloadable prepaid Visa card designed for the 13-25 age group and their parents. The card remains under the supervision of parents.
For high school students, it’s a great alternative to cash allowances that are unsafe, offer no spending control and often require trips to the ATM. It’s also a great educational tool to learn about financial literacy.
For college students, it’s a convenient way to manage their money, track spending in real-time and stay away from credit cards. College students can receive occasional funds from their parents, receive a pay check directly onto the card and even write checks online (For cardholders 18 or over)
The UPside Visa Prepaid Card is not a credit card: your child can only spend the money that has been loaded beforehand into the UPside card account. There is no credit card bill to pay at the end of the month, no late fees, no risk of going into debt. If your child loses the card, funds loaded on the UPside card account are not lost. As long as you notify us promptly of a loss or theft, this money is 100% safe.
