Betty Boop Visa® Prepaid Card

Created to represent a flapper from the Jazz age, Betty Boop has always represented a sophisticated, sassy and worry-free woman. Dating back to the 1930s, this vivid caricature has carved a place in American landscape. Most often, she's defined as one with a round, rather large, baby face, big eyes, long lashes and a nose 'like a button'. For historians, they know that she was toned down, at least slightly, as part of cinema's pre code days or the Hays Code, to represent a slightly softer character. Either way, she has fans by the millions and remains one of the world's most beloved animated characters.

Now, she's becoming a part of our financial landscape, too. For Betty Boop fans, the Betty Boop prepaid Visa card offers a series of delightful images. From the vintage look of gray and the customary red combination, to the more vivid blues shown as Betty floats along in a pool - complete with a coconut drink to the traditional red strapless dress, red pursed lips and that famous distant look, there are several different card designs. These high quality images let the world know that you might take your finances seriously, but there's a more laid back, 'Betty Boop' side to you as well.

The reality is today's consumers are looking for more affordable financial options. They want the safety that a financial institution offers, but they've grown wary, which has led to a savvier approach. They're no longer content with unreasonable fee structures and while everyone appreciates the benefits of the big banks', there's a growing interest in the alternatives.

This is where the prepaid debit cards come into the mix. These products have grown in popularity because they allow the customer to make the decisions best for his needs. No longer is the most common formula acceptable. With the debit Visa, you never have to worry about overdraft fees, late fees, penalties or worries that your balance has fallen to some unacceptable minimum balance: you decide what your limit is and you don't have to worry about dropping below that minimum balance threshold because there is none.

With much of our financial payment systems now encouraging, or even insisting, on direct deposit, the CARDS.com family of debit Visa are perfect. When you have $800 in direct deposits in a month's time, the maintenance fee is waived. Even if you miss that cutoff, your fee is low. This is just part of the simple fee plan devised to ensure customers are making the most of their budgets. There's no annual fee, no inactivity fee, no card activation, no point of sale transaction fees - and that's just the beginning. If you've ever had a question that was too specific for a traditional FAQ page and needed to speak to a live human, odds are, you were reminded that you would see a customer support live agent fee. Not with the Betty Boop Visa. We don't mind if you speak to our customer service team. In fact, we train them so well that they are empowered to fix your problem without you having to listen to a series of recorded messages as you're being transferred to one department to another. It's just part of the great service our customers receive.

Signing up is easy, too. In fact, you can do so usually in a few minutes and in most instances, have your answer in the same amount of time.

As for security, rest assured that you're protected by several layers of protection. From the secure 256 bit SSL websites to the many safety features built right into your card. As much of a role as technology plays in our lives, our safety should never be dismissed as part of the deal.
