Written by huds1n

Welcome to the BFS EFTPOS Prepaid Card                

Baptist Financial Services (BFS) now offers you a convenient reloadable prepaid card. You can use the BFS EFTPOS Prepaid Card for purchases and to pay bills in store wherever EFTPOS prepaid cards are accepted within Australia. Not only that, you can also withdraw cash from ATM’s.

Features & Benefits

• Easy 24 hour internet access will help you check your balance and transaction history
• As a convenient way to shop it just doesn’t get any easier. Spending is limited to the amount of money you load on your card. Each time you use your card, the purchase amount is automatically deducted from your card balance. The card can be used at over 400,000 terminals and 60,000 retailers around Australia, wherever EFTPOS Prepaid Cards are accepted.
• Purchasing & cash both made easy. For store purchases you simply swipe through the terminal in the usual way. It’s just as easy for cash withdrawals from an ATM.
• Easy budget control by using your own money, it just makes it that much easier (unlike a credit card, a prepaid card has no credit facility). A great way to give your children access to funds as needed, pay pocket money or gifts to the account, and allow them to spend money and maintain a record of the expenditure.
• Security of the card is in your hands as you can change your PIN, or block the usage of the card at any time. The card is not connected to any bank account or credit limit.
• Easy top ups as the card is reloadable. You can easily transfer funds to the card and this includes transfers from accounts with other financial institutions, rental payments, pensions and salaries.
• Maximum amount to be held on the card is $5,000. This means you can load funds and spend the balance as often as you wish, as long as the balance doesn’t exceed $5,000 at any one time. Cash withdrawals via ATM’s are limited to $1,000 per day.
• Viewing your account information on line cuts out the paperwork. You can check your transaction history any time.

• Great value with the normal Monthly Card Fee of $5 per month reduced to $0 from 31 July 2011.
