  • Load fees
  • Withdrawal fees
  • Annual Fees
  • Card issue fees
  • Withdrawal limits
  • Fraudulent activity liability – Cardholders are responsible for all fraudulent activity connected that occurs before the card is reported lost, missing or stolen. Most bank issued debit cards have zero fraud liability or a cap on the amount of consumer responsibility of around $50.

Due to the fact that these fees are common amongst just about every prepaid, re-loadable debit cards available, and vary by card issuer, it is a good idea to shop around and compare fees before deciding on a card that suits your needs.
