Prepaid cards are the cheapest and most effective mechanism of securely transferring money to your family and friends instantly. Prepaid card providers prefer to use the term money share as the funds are available on the card instantly.
It is as simple as applying for an additional card on your account and then sending the card out to your family or friends. The primary cardholder can load funds in the UK and the secondary cardholder can access those funds using their card and also make withdrawals at ATM’s in local currency.
The bottom line is that there is really no cheaper way to transfer and share money safely, securely and instantly.
