Scenario

When prepaid cards promise inclusion but deliver limitation

I got a prepaid debit card to avoid bank fees but now I can't use it to pay rent or buy anything online, so I'm paying for financial access that doesn't actually give me access.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Alternative financial products often provide the appearance of inclusion while maintaining practical exclusion.
