Direct Deposit to a prepaid card?

[sherryinutah]

I noticed when I considered signing up for Direct Deposit that we have the option of having our FC earnings deposited to our prepaid cards; Green dot, etc.

Then it seemed like the only option for direct deposit is to enter banking information like routing and account numbers.  I'm confused.

How do we have our earnings deposited to a prepaid card?

Thanks...

all you have to do is look at the paperwork that came with the card. it has info that includes a routing number and account number just like a regular checking account. if you dont have the paperwork you can go online and create an account for the card if you dont already have one or just call the number on the back of the card and ask a representative the account number and your routing number

Try using a RushCard. No monthly payments, no interest. Free prepaid card and direct deposit card. NO dealing with banks.

Paypal also has a card and whenever you have $$ in your account you can use it.  I'm not sure about the fees or anything if there are any at all (I don't think there are), but you can get one if you have an account with them, and a PayPal account is free.

Alot of good ideas on here, thanks everyone and I think I might try to look into the Ruch card since it's sound the best...

I personnaly have never used a pre paid acct and have always used direct deposit. Many employees that worked under me had problems with the card in that they were not accepted everywhere or had problems with hidden fees or to simle things like trying to retrieve a balance on one.

  I have thought about getting a paypal prepaid/debit card because your money is more readily available but never got around to it, just always do direct deposit although it takes several days to get your money into checking or savings and then be able to spend it.  So I guess it is just a personal preference thing or a timing situation.
