Why customers love AccountNow Prepaid Cards

Saves you money

"My AccountNow Prepaid Card is so convenient to use! I have my paycheck direct deposited onto the card every payday, there are no more trips to the bank, and I no longer spend money on expensive check cashing fees. My son goes to college out of state. We both have AccountNow Prepaid Cards so I'm able to get him money whenever he needs it, even on the weekends. I just log online and use the "share money" feature and transfer money from my card to his. This feature is fantastic!"
