Moneybookers launches pre-paid MasterCard

http://www.moneybookers.com

Moneybookers has launched a new prepaid card that will allow its users to access the funds in their Moneybookers eWallet directly at any ATM or point of sale displaying the MasterCard Acceptance Mark anywhere in the world.

Through this new development, Moneybookers has transferred the unique benefits of the Moneybookers eWallet into the offline world whilst giving its customers instant access to their cash, wherever they are. Moneybookers is the first mainstream eWallet provider to do this.
Unlike existing prepaid cards, customers using the Moneybookers MasterCard, issued by Newcastle Building Society, will not have to split funds and separately preload the card. Instead, the Moneybookers MasterCard synchronises automatically in real time with the funds in the customer's Moneybookers eWallet.
This innovative feature gives the card an ease of use and simplicity that makes it suitable for managing finances in a wide variety of applications. As well as allowing customers to shop online and offline, parents will be able to load money onto the card for their children travelling on gap years abroad. People can both book their holiday flights and pay for their souvenirs when away. Businesses can pay their suppliers - all whilst managing their spending directly via their Moneybookers eWallet.
The card is available for all Moneybookers customers from today. It offers extremely competitive set-up and usage fees:

Set up fee / annual fee EUR10
Withdrawal fee EUR1.80
FX fee 1.99%
The card will initially be available in four currencies: GBP, EUR, USD and PLN.
