Your rights with prepaid card companies

Registered prepaid accounts get most Regulation E protections: report unauthorized transactions and errors quickly and the provider must investigate. Payroll and government benefit cards must tell you how to get your money without fees.

Scam warning: Gift cards are for gifts. Anyone asking you to pay a bill, a fine or a "fee" with gift cards is a scammer.
