How to Transfer One Prepaid Card Balance to Another

Prepaid cards are debit cards with little to no credit benefits. These cards have logos of well-known credit card companies like Master Card and Visa, which means that you can use them to make purchases at online stores or brick-and-mortar stores. However, they do attract individuals who have little or no access to a bank. Since the monthly fees, transaction fees and miscellaneous fees can be expensive, you may want to transfer your balance to a less-expensive prepaid card. It is as easy as going to your nearest ATM.
