I have a Prime prepaid card. It only has a 'pay as u go' option but thats fine for me as i only use it occasssionaly. Its fees are about the cheapest around and it is one of the cheapest to buy.

Cashplus offer a credit builder option as long as you sign up to 12 months of their pay monthly option which costs around £4.95. You do not need to use the card or load more funds on, simply put £60 on it and it will automatically be debited. There is a thread on moneysavingexpert about it.

And just to let you know... I received an email today from Prime telling me you can now put more money on the card in the Post Office. Top ups over £100 are free and under £100 are 49p. So it seems to be much better value now if you were still looking for a card. Hope this helps.

Hi Iancewers, I couldn't quite forget your plight for a non chip and pin prepaid card which is really good value.
