If you intend to frequently top-up the card online using a debit or credit card, high reload fees can make this card more expensive that others available on the market.

Application Process
3 Stars

Very quick application process. You do require a debit or credit card to initially purchase an Extreme Cred prepaid card, however, unlike other prepaid cards available to under 18’s, you can make future top-ups using cash at the Post Office or at Paypoint terminals.

Card Design
4 Stars

A single card design, but available in some wild colours. Well, it is an Extreme card!

Fees
3 Stars

The Extreme Cred prepaid card fares better than other Maestro cards on the market. There are still reload fees, which can make the card expensive if reloaded often, however, it is reasonably cost effective to reload at the Post Office.

Self Servicing
3 Stars

You can service your account on the Extreme Cred website. You can view your balance, recent transactions and change your personal details. You can also order additional cards for any persons over the age of 13
