How Does the Prepaid Card Work?

Modified on Thu, 2 Jul at 1:48 PM

TABLE OF CONTENTS


Our prepaid card is a simple way to borrow and spend money for essential household needs and everyday shopping with our approved retailers. It is designed to help you spread the cost of important items while keeping your repayments manageable.

Depending on the product you choose, you can use either a Food Club Card or a Shopping Card.

How the Card Works

When your loan is approved, the funds are loaded onto your prepaid card. You can then use the card to shop within your approved spending limits at participating retailers.

You’ll repay the money you borrow through an agreed repayment plan, which is set up when you take out your loan.
