> Secure credit card choices for students

Giving a student a credit card could be a scary thought to a parent. Now there is a very secure credit card available to meet students needs and give parents peace of mind. It is called the Visa Buxx and it is an ingenious little card that is designed for teenagers age 13 and up. The purpose of the card is to introduce budgeting and practical money skills for young people. The Visa Buxx is like a secure credit card and can be used wherever Visa is accepted.

The way it works is that a parent will load a determined amount on the card. When purchases are made, the balance is reduced and the card must be reloaded when the balance is zero. Purchases cannot exceed the amount preset on the card. The parents and student can monitor the activity of the account at any time by logging on to the Visa Buxx secure credit card web site and going to account summary.

Since the teens name is on the card, it cannot be used by anyone else. Parents are able to monitor accounts and add money to the accounts any time online or by phone. There is no limit to the amount that can be placed on a card. Parents also have the ability to suspend or close an account at any time. The student can use the card for any purchase but they cannot add money to the account or order a card themselves. The parent has full control over the secure credit card, as they will only put it the amount the teen needs to spend.

The Visa Company is proud to help young people learn about financial responsibility with a secured credit card. Make an application today and give your teenager a great learning experience with a secure credit card.
