Pockit cards look like many credit or debit cards, with a card number, chip-pin and signature strip. But unlike credit cards – which provide you with a source of credit, and debit cards – which are linked to your bank account, it helps you spend only the amount you have chosen to load onto a prepaid card, helping you to stay in complete control.You can use the Pockit Prepaid MasterCard at over 35 million locations and withdraw cash from over 1.9 million cash machines worldwide – wherever you see the MasterCard Acceptance mark.
You can access your personal card section online where you can manage your money and your card facilities. To log in, simply click the ‘Login’ button at the top of the pockit website and enter your email address and password you set up, then follow the steps. (note you can change this password once you have logged in by clicking card settings from the menu.)

Becareful with this card, my son wasn't old enough for a current account and a debit card, so we got him one of these for pocket money, and we had constant problems with the company losing transactions and it took 3 months per transaction to investigate and another 30 days to get a refund!! if you doubt me, check their forums out, hundreds of complaints and there websites feel like someone stopped making them 80% through.
thankfully he is now old enough but id never use Pockit again.. terrible customer support.
Id recommend a Revolut card 100% over this.

You can use this in shops and online where places don't accept PayPal.
I have one, got it after someone bought a £600 watch on my card. I suspect my details got stolen from one of those cheap online stores that sell steam keys.
I always use this now when buying something online from a company that I'm not 100% sure about in terms of online security.

I have one and one each for my teen children, all on same account. Has proved very useful as a reserve fund when they have been abroad or have lost wallets. Good website, easy to manage.

Looks like a great idea for kids spending money. Anyone know if it has contactless?

I have one and it 's not contactless. It's over a year old though so maybe newer ones are ?
It's a very useful card for purchases online (foreign sites, companies you've never heard of etc.) when you are a bit suspect of using your main credit card. You can just load this card up online (instant transfer from a debit card), with just enough ££'s for your purchase, and then relax about giving all your credit card details out.
The online statements are very good too, they show all recent pending transactions within a few minutes.

Apart from the free £5.00 I can't see this being better than the Revolut Card, especially since Revolut has no fees for purchases or ATM withdrawals abroad.

Is that just for the first year ? - it looks like they're starting to charge now over £500. A few complaints about using this card abroad too (halfway down this link) :-
100% agree , Revolt is the best card so far with no fess even for ATM

does it have the same protections as a normal credit card when you buy items?
wild_quinine to EN1GMA
30 Mar 161#13
Short version: no, it won't. With this card you're spending your own money. The credit card protections only arise from the fact that you are spending someone else's.

Same as a debit card.

totally agree. .. so much more peace of mind. .. and also great for holidays, if you lose it, you'll only lose the amount on the card
