Prepaid Visa cards that you can use internationally are widely available and easy to obtain. Many banks offer these cards, and they can often be linked to your bank account, making the process of reloading them with money easy. Call your bank or check their website to see if they offer this service. Prepaid Visa cards are also widely available at retail outlets such as grocery stores, drugstores, discount department stores, and convenience stores. Look for them in the gift card section of the shop. You can load the cards with an amount of your choosing at the checkout counter. You can also buy prepaid cards online at retailers like Amazon or eBay, but you should ensure that you are purchasing from a reputable retailer before you buy these cards online, as online scams surrounding prepaid cards are common. It’s also important to note that you will often incur a service charge when you buy many of these prepaid cards. Read the fine print before you buy, so you aren’t surprised when you pay. If you are traveling internationally and are concerned about access to funds, online money transfer services can also offer a convenient option for obtaining cash quickly. [WC: 200]
