Anyone know anything about a prepaid credit card I could get in finland, I would like to use it for the app store and google play, so the kids can have an allowance for in app purchases etc

Started using the Skrill mastercard today, made a few purchases in Finland with it no problem, then in the afternoon it started getting rejected, even though there was enough money on it.

The purchases I made earlier aren't shown in the transaction history either. The balance is right based on the transactions I made but they are not displayed on there web interface or their app.

Any ideas?

I use prepaid german plastic. One just buys them at a gas station 50, 100, 200 EUR.no registration , no fees ...the only problem is that they can only be bought in the "rest" of Europe, not in Finland ..

Tested the Skrill again today and now it works, bit worried about sticking a large amount on it now though in case it stops working again.

I think there is a small print somewhere that limits your usage/transactions before you send you them a copy of your ID and proof of address etc.

Could only see something about limiting the amount of money you can spend not the number of transactions. Anyway I now entererd my bank details and did a transfer so in a few days that should fully verify the account, so lets see.

Nordea has a Visa Debit and a Visa Electron Card

Yeah I have both them but they are not prepaid credit cards.
