New to the UK?

If you’re finding it difficult to open a bank account, why not get a Range prepaid MasterCard®? There are no credit checks and you can have your wages or salary paid directly onto your card. You can then use your card to pay bills, share money, withdraw cash from ATM’s and shop online, over the telephone and in stores.

Control the money that your family spend at university or while travelling

The Range Card is a perfect way to manage and control the amount of money your family members spend at university or while travelling. In an emergency, you can simply send a text message to move funds from your Range Card to another Range Card.

Travelling

When on holiday use your Range
Card as a convenient
alternative to carrying cash or
travellers cheques. Your Range
Card can be used anywhere the
MasterCard® acceptance mark is
displayed and we won't charge you
when you use your card for “Chip
-and-PIN payments” at home or abroad.
If you’re a student planning to go
travelling, your parents can top up your Range Card with the funds from their own Range Card by simply sending a text message.

If you notice that your Range Card is lost or stolen, send an SMS to block your card and call our customer services immediately in order to prevent losses on your card.

Share money with friends and family

Money can be loaded onto a Range Card by simply sending a text message. So long as you and a friend or family member both have a Range Card, you can transfer money to each other's cards. Ideal for when your loved ones need money in a hurry.

An easy and safe way to shop online

Your Range Card is not linked to your bank account so you can use your card to shop online, safe in the knowledge that fraudsters are unable to access your bank account. However, you should always be aware at all times of the funds that you have loaded on your card and treat it securely.

Shopping sprees

Use your Range Card when going shopping in town or on a night out with friends. It’s a safe alternative to carrying cash and you can limit the amount of money you’re able to spend. Use your card to pay for your round of drinks, book tickets at the cinema or pay for a meal at a restaurant.

Fees and Charges

Of course there are some fees and charges that apply to these facilities. The fees and charges that apply to your card are set out here.
