CardLab, Inc. Launches Prepaid Teen Card Program
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- CardLab, Inc., the leading online provider of gift cards and incentive cards through the websites GiftCard.com and IncentiveCardLab.com respectively, today announced the launch of its new teen website, buxx.com. Buxx.com offers a reloadable prepaid card to help teens learn important money management skills and take concrete steps toward financial independence.
Using the same print on demand technology as its other sites, buxx.com allows teens to create a custom card tailored to their interests. Teens can upload a photo or custom artwork, or select one of 95 existing designs including cars, nature, music, animals and fashion. The card can be loaded via direct deposit from the teen’s employer, parents can set up recurring loads, or an emergency transfer from a bank account or credit card. Parents will no longer have to worry if their student has enough cash for an out- of-town field trip or concert. If selected through the parent account, teens can also use their card at ATMs. They can even be used internationally. Contact a customer service representative for a full list of approved countries.
Parents and teens each have a login with access to the earn smart, spent smartTM budget management system associated with the card. From there, both can view account balances, select which alerts to receive and see where money is being sent. Buxx.com has been optimized for mobile viewing, giving parents and teens access on the go from their computer, smart phone, or tablet.
The program starts with a $4.95 enrollment fee and a $4.95 monthly maintenance fee, with no inactivity fees, free direct deposit and the same high quality of customer service expected from CardLab. “We’re invested in helping teens make smart financial decisions. It’s inevitable that this generation will have debit cards so we’ve made it our mission to help them earn smart and spend smart using budgeting tools that will help them prepare so they know how to use plastic responsibly when the time comes,” said David Jones, CEO of CardLab, Inc. “Both of my sons have a card; the buxx.com dashboard makes it easy to view both account balances and keep track of their spending.”
