    • ]]>     Teaching teens to use credit responsibly can be a daunting task. Of course you don’t want your child to run into difficulties financially, but how do you teach them to use credit responsibly and to their advantage without running into trouble. As we all know it’s easy to fall into the trap of buy now and pay later and when later comes there’s not enough money to go around. Most of us have learned this lesson the hard way through personal experience and we want to spare our children this same experience.

    One way parents have been teaching their children the responsibilities of credit is through the use of prepaid reloadable Mastercards.

    Using reloadable credit cards like the Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards can be a simple way to teach your teen how to budget and how to begin to manage their own credit. Hopefully after some time you can loosen the restrictions and get them their own low limit credit card and reloadable Mastercard can be a great way to start on this path.

    Maybe your teen is getting ready to leave for college and you’re looking for a way to make cash accessible to them within a certain monthly budget. You can get them a reloadable Mastercard and simply top it up at the beginning of each month. This also makes it easy to send them additional funds in the case of an emergency.

    Having a reloadable Mastercard gives you several benefits:

    · There is no need for credit checks. Since the card is prepaid anyone can qualify.

    · There is no need to worry about running up debts since the card is prepaid. This helps to avoid nasty credit card interest rates that can quickly get out of control.

    · If the card should be stolen it is quick and easy to report and thus get your funds returned to you.

    There are of course some minor disadvantages to the reloadable Mastercard prepaid cards.

    · Most cards charge an application fee as well as a monthly fee for the card. Of course this could still be much cheaper than interest charges on an ordinary credit card.

    · ATM withdrawals are allowed, however again you will be charged a fee. The fee varies with each card company so shopping around can help keep these charges lower.

    Once you start searching you’ll see that there are many companies now offering reloadable Mastercards. It’s definitely in your best interest to do your homework and check them out to find the best one for your needs. Be careful that you’re not actually buying a non-reloadable prepaid Mastercard giftcard and make sure the card you choose allows ATM withdrawals.

    By doing your homework and choosing the right reloadable Mastercard for your teen you can teach them budgeting and credit responsibility while also providing yourself some peace of mind knowing your teen will be covered in case of emergency.
