    Hi happyclapper,

    Thanks for your query. Unfortunately we don't supply a prepaid credit card.

    That may be an option for you. If it's a Third Level Student Account that you have, you're Laser card will automatically be replaced with a Visa Debit by the end of September. Althvough, we wouldn't be able to guarantee that your card will be replaced as part of the rollout before you leave.

    The only cards that are being replaced outside of the scheduled rollout are cards that have been reported lost stolen or damaged. Just be aware that if you need to have your card replaced for one of these reasons, a charge of €5.90 will be applied to your account.

    If you need to have your card replaced for one of the reasons quoted above, you can ring Banking365 on 0818 365 365.

    Thanks
    Pat

    Hi happyclapper,

    The Visa Debit card can being used anywhere the Visa sign is displayed and also the same way you used your Laser card.

    There are no quarterly current account transaction fees on 3rd level student current accounts. You can get a full list of charges here.

    Thanks
    Linda
