How does the Freedom Card work as an alternative money solution?
You can load money onto the Freedom Prepaid Card by cash at a bank or PayPoint terminals, or as a wages payment directly through your employer.
With this alternative to money The Freedom Prepaid Card works in the same way as a credit or debit card payments methods - you simply hand the card to the cashier as a payment means. You will be asked to enter your PIN number (supplied with the card) on an electronic keypad.
Once the money payment has been complete the total amount will be deducted directly from your card balance.
Shopping online with this alternative money solution is done in exactly the same way as you would with a traditional credit card.
As long as you have enough cash loaded on your card (the website checks this by the usual means of an authorisation), the method of payment is completed and your item will be shipped to you. |
