Your Sun Prepaid MasterCard®

You’ll get your Sun Prepaid Card to use with your eccount, personalised with your name and Chip and PIN. You can also get cards for friends or family as Authorised Users.

What is a Prepaid Card?

Your Prepaid Card is a MasterCard® payment card that can be loaded with money by you or someone else. It looks just like a credit or debit card, with a card number, Chip and signature strip. But prepaid cards are unlike credit cards, which provide you with a line of credit, and different from debit cards which are linked to a bank account. This is because you can’t go overdrawn or borrow money with a prepaid card – you can only spend the money you have loaded onto it, so you can stay in complete control of your money.

Find out all the great ways that The Sun eccount and Prepaid MasterCard® can help you manage your money.

You can use your Sun Card to make purchases wherever MasterCard® is accepted – that’s over 25 million locations worldwide. When you use your Sun Card at a retailer, the price of your purchase is deducted from balance on your Card.

You can also make secure purchases by phone, mail, or over the Internet and withdraw your money from cash machines (ATMs) worldwide.

Your Sun Prepaid MasterCard® is safer and more convenient to use than cash. Get yours now.
