What are prepaid cards?

A prepaid card resembles a debit or credit card, but holds a finite amount of funds and is not directly tied to a bank account or line of credit.

These cards typically can only be used for purchases under or equal to the card balance and are typically terminated upon reaching this initial balance.

Marqeta provides prepaid cards with dynamic spend controls and Just-in-Time Funding to optimize cash flow and mitigate payment fraud.

“A traditional prepaid card processor would decide whether payments will be authorized, but Just-in-Time Funding from Marqeta puts us in control and lets us decide whether to approve each transaction. Empowering us in this way gives us more control over fraud risk and allows us to achieve better cash management for real, bottom-line results.”
