About Bank Freedom

Bank Freedom has recently entered the prepaid card industry with its Bank Freedom Prepaid MasterCard[R]. The BankFreedom Prepaid MasterCard card is issued by MetaBank pursuant to license by MasterCard International Incorporated. According to market data available, there are between 40 and 80 million people in the United States who don't have a bank account or who can't qualify for a credit card because their credit scores are too low. This is called the under-banked market. The emerging prepaid card solutions offered by Bank Freedom can act as a card account and payment solution for those people who do not use banks or credit cards. For the under-banked, the evolution taking place with prepaid cards can replace their reliance on check cashing centers, money orders, and the inability to buy certain products that require a major credit card.
