It fast and simple to use for online transactions. Kinda risk free too since you only load it up when needed. Used to have atrocious exchange rates but nowadays they are more reasonable imho. Can only load minimum 500 + 125 reload fee = 625 minimum reload. 250 bob annual fee.
+1 it's ok for me too. *_______________________________________________________________ We must Keep on, * On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 10:22 PM, Keneth Kingori <kkingori@gmail.com> wrote:

I wonder if we'll see a 10% hike in fees due to excise duty being applicable on banks now.
The rates they use to convert to dollar are crazy. But card is good On Aug 23, 2013 6:56 PM, "saich" <saiched@gmail.com> wrote:

@Moses, now that you mention it, I did try buying something off amazon.co.ukusing the Coop card, it failed. A friend tried with Equity's card and it also failed. He then called Amazon and sorta complained, then it worked. Just thought I saw a pattern in there.. On Sun, Aug 25, 2013 at 10:28 PM, Moses M.G <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:

I have been using IM Prepaid cards for a while. They work all the time. If you will be making USD payments, get the USD card and always load USD at their branches - zero forex loss On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 3:09 AM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

If you are risk concious, this is the card. Load it up and use up the money. Then wait for the next transaction. Always works quite well for me. You also have the option of deciding when the card can be used for online transactions. On Mon, Aug 26, 2013 at 10:42 AM, Nicholas Mutinda <mutindah@gmail.com>wrote:
