Daily Star Cashcard features

It gives you choice

You can choose the option of a Pay as you go card where you pay a fee for each transaction. Or you can opt for a Pay Monthly card where for a fixed price of £3.99 you get all your purchase transactions for free.

It’s accepted

With a Daily Star Cashcard Prepaid Mastercard® you can enjoy all the benefits of a MasterCard card with no credit check, no interest payments and no surprises. Your Daily Star Cashcard makes it easy to pay for whatever you want. Use it for everyday purchases wherever the MasterCard® brand mark is displayed.

It’s simple

The Daily Star Cashcard works just like a "pay-as-you-go" mobile phone. It can be topped up with cash at any PayPoint or Post Office® location. You can even have your employer pay your wages onto the card. See the topping up section of this website for more details.

Because the Daily Star Cashcard is a prepaid card, your spending limits are set by the amount of money you load onto the card. When you make a purchase with the card, the purchase amount is deducted from the card balance. You cannot spend any more than your available balance.

You can view your balance and transaction history 24 hours a day.

It’s safe

The Daily Star Cashcard is a safe alternative to carrying cash as it is protected by Chip & PIN technology. When cash is lost, it is gone forever. However, if your Daily Star Cashcard is ever lost or stolen, you can receive a replacement card within days. Nevertheless you should look after your card with the same care as you do your cash, never reveal your PIN to anyone else and immediately tell us if you think that your card is lost or stolen to avoid any loss of the funds on your card.

It’s easy to get

The Daily Star Cashcard is ideal for:

• People with damaged or no credit history

For people who want to control and budget their spending

You set the spending limits by the prepaid amount loaded on your card. You also can log on to the website to review your spending. Your Daily Star Cashcard makes it easy to get your spending under control.

For people who want to shop or purchase online

The popularity of the Internet makes it difficult to use cash for transactions like booking a flight or train ticket, reserving a cinema seat, and buying products online. The Daily Star Cashcard allows you to access all these things in the knowledge that your transactions are safe and secure.
