There is no credit check. And it is accepted everywhere you see the Visa logo displayed, including internationally.
This is how it works; first you deposit money on your card and then it can be used for purchases or to pay bills.
You can deposit money by; direct deposit, directly through cash or check at a cash register, or through a green dot money pak (available online and at over 50,000 retailers).
Your card is accepted online and over the phone. Best of all your money is FDIC insured and it is protected under Visa's zero liability policy. This means if your card is lost or stolen, your money is still protected.

Wal-Mart Money Card - Suggest?
Yes, we mildly suggest the Wal Mart Money Card. However we feel there are better options.
For example; when you deposit money using a Green Dot Money Pak it will cost you $4.95 (each deposit).
Additionally when you deposit money at a cash register using a check, Walmart is still going to charge you $3 to cash your check.
The other drawback to this card is it will not help you build credit. And you have to pay upfront to even be issued the card.
For these reasons instead we suggest the prepaid Account Now Visa.
It comes with; Free Direct Deposit, Free Credit Builder, Free Bill Pay, Free Activation. And It Even Let's You Borrow Money & Build Credit.
