A Visa Prepaid card replaces paper checks, offering government entities an efficient, low-cost method for disbursing benefit payments. For benefit recipients, especially those without a banking relationship, Visa Government Prepaid cards provide a secure alternative to carrying cash and checks and are a convenient way to access funds.

Benefit recipients can easily use their Visa Government Prepaid cards wherever Visa is accepted, including ATMs and online retailers.

Visa Prepaid Government cards can lower the distribution costs, processing hassles, and security risks of paper checks.
