Prepaid cards
An interesting development in the credit card/debit card field has been the advent of the new prepaid cards, also known as prepay, pre-pay, pre-paid or pay-as-you-go cards.
These have no credit facilities at all, so you can never go over the limit, which is a great advantage for many people, particularly those who have had trouble keeping to credit limits in the past.
