We update promotions and bonus offers for Netspend here.
Netspend is a prepaid debit card with multiple options for loading funds, high withdrawal limits and a high maximum balance. You can choose from three plans:
- Pay-As-You-Go: no monthly fee, per-transaction fees
- Monthly Plan: $9.95/month, no per-transaction fees
- Premier FeeAdvantage: $5/month, no per-transaction fees, for cardmembers with monthly direct deposits of at least $500
