How to Apply for the Account Now Gold Visa Prepaid Credit Card

The Account Now Gold Visa Prepaid Credit Card is the kind of card that should give you nightmares. This card is meant to take money out of your pocket while leaving you with the impression that your credit score is being improved. As opposed to most credit cards, this one has a monthly fee of $9.95 and it can only be used after the initial $300 deposit has been provided. This initial deposit will then be drawn from each time you use your card much like the way a debit card draws from a checking account. There is definitely a time and a place for this card, but if you are not at the absolute last stop for acquiring a credit option then steer clear of this one. If you are still interested in applying, continue on and follow our step-by-step guide that will help you complete the application.

Before proceeding, it is recommended that you review the Green Dot privacy policy as they are the financial institution which will be handling your personal information.
