Prepaid credit cards
The definition of a prepaid credit card is:
A payment card (usually MasterCard, Maestro, Visa Electron or Amex), pre-loaded with your own money, which you can then use wherever the payment card is accepted, including on the internet and abroad.
They have the advantage of convenience, limiting risk, financial regulation and can be used for low risk internet shopping. This is particularly useful for voluntary organisations who don't have credit cards, run projects and have to buy things online (to save money for example).
Below are links to a couple of sites which list a good many, each with similar but slightly different features/charges. We have compiled a list of those which carry no monthly fee.
