    Default bopo.com.au

    An alternative to bank deposits and paypal, it is a prepaid visa card.basically a prepaid debit card. It is a good alternative to getting a credit card.

    i dont want to provide incorrect information so check the website out. One of the best features is the option to transfer funds between cards using sms mobile.

    Neat info Autobreadticon. A very good option to use and have. Another option to pay via card is you can apply for a Visa/mastercard card with your bank using your bank account as the amount limit the card has... sort of a debit card which is also your credit card. Since your limit in the card is the amount of money in your savings account it proves also a deterrent from over spending heheheh.This is what I use now with St George ( thanks to dirge). So far its been quite useful in purchasing from BBTS.

    Most banks have a debit card set-up now. I have one with home banking/bank of queensland/statewest ( I forget their official title now....) and use it as a completely seperate account from all my others.

    That way if any nasty person gets their grubby hands on my card info any loss to me is minimal as I only put in what I need to pay for online transactions. It can't go over the amount of money I put in it and all is good.

    I did...

    I did manage to use it to preorder a big Lego set from lego.com, which was what I got the card for. So am not too upset.

    Kyle & Bread, I hope you didn't have many funds in your accounts at the time as we've all seen previously in the news - things never turn out good when administrators get called in...

    Don't worry. I only put in $305 to buy a $300 Lego set from Lego.com (with free shipping). Now I have about $3 left and can't get it out.
