RateBuddy Verdict
The Good
- Requires only a soft credit check to open, meaning applying will not negatively impact your credit score.
- Prevents you from going into debt, as you can only spend the funds you have loaded onto the card.
- Includes Purchase Security and Extended Warranty insurance, which is very uncommon for a basic prepaid card.
The Trade-offs
- Charges a $9.99 annual fee, which is a downside considering there are free prepaid options on the market.
- Does not earn any cash back, travel points, or standard rewards on your daily spending.
- Because it is a prepaid card, using it will not help you build or improve your credit history.
