Extremecred

Extreme Cred is a brilliant idea. The Extreme Group are well-known for their uber-cool businesses both on and offline and this is their latest venture.



The Extreme Cred card is a re-loadable, pre-pay top up card, just like a pre-paid mobile phone card, but much more useful.



Visit this site to buy a card. There is a one-off charge of £8.95 and you must be 13 or over to buy one. You can put money on it with a credit or debit card, with cash at any post office or any shop with a Paypoint sign. The Extreme Card can then be used in any store showing the Maestro sign.



The Extreme Card is a heaven-sent opportunity for students travelling around the world, concerned about losing credit cards, or for parents of teenage children who want their offspring to be able to take responsibility for their own budgetting, with sensible restrictions.



The advantage of the card is that you get all the benefits of a credit card, without the anxiety of worrying about your bank account, what is on the card is on the card, and that is all you can lose if it is stolen, though any theft can be reported online at this site. The card also has the normal chip and pin facilities.
