What is a debit card?

When you open a bank account or e-money account (like us!), you’ll be issued a debit card.

A debit card is a type of payment card that allows you to make purchases in-store, online or over the phone. Rather than relying on cash or cheques, money is taken from your account directly.

 

What’s different about Mastercard® debit cards with Suits Me®?

At Suits Me®, we work differently to a traditional bank account. Our debit cards are prepaid and are linked to an e-money account rather than a bank account.

Your e-money account offers banking like features, so in order to use your debit card, you’ll need to load money onto your card at a PayPoint location before you can use it. You can also top up your account via transfer or getting your wages paid into the account.

Once topped up, you can use the card as you would a traditional debit card account, without any risk of overspending as we don’t offer a credit or overdraft facility.

Why should I choose a Suits Me® debit card?

Prepaid debit cards don’t always come with advanced banking like features like direct debits, standing orders or transfers, which can make things difficult if it’s your primary account.

Our Mastercard® debit cards come packed with handy features, so your money can work harder. With a Suits Me® card:

  • You’ll be issued an account number and sort code (so your employer can pay your salary into the account each month)
  • You can receive transfers
  • You can make payments as you would with a traditional card
  • You’ll be able to use a chip and PIN terminal (or even make speedy contactless payments)
  • You’ll get access to an online account and our app, meaning you can view your balance and recent transactions when you use your debit card.

What’s the difference between a credit card and a debit card?

Debit cards work by allowing you to spend the money you have available in your bank account or e-money account linked to your debit card. Credit cards on the other hand allow you to borrow money up to a set limit. 

As credit cards allow you to spend money that isn’t technically yours, it’s easy to overspend and you may be charged interest. You should always use credit cards responsibly. 

Can I use my Suits Me® debit card internationally?

You can use your debit card internationally for point of sale transactions in anywhere you see the Mastercard ® logo. Through our partner in the Suits Me® app, you can create a separate account to transfer money to friends and family around the world as well.

How do I add money to a Suits Me® debit card? 

Topping up your debit card is easy with Suits Me®. As soon as you’ve received your card and activated it, you can add money to your account. A few ways you can add funds to your online debit card include: 

  • Online payment transfers – If you have another account, you can log into your online portal and transfer money to your Suits Me® debit card. UK transfers are usually instant, international transfers are available via our partner in the Suits Me® app. 
  • Physical cash – If you have been gifted or paid cash, you can load this onto your debit card. Simply take the cash to a Paypoint location to get started. 
  • Top-ups at an ATM – At selected ATMs, you can load cash onto your debit card. If you’re doing this, make sure you’ve memorised your PIN! 
  • Third-party payments – If you prefer, friends and family can send you money to your account. This can either be a one-off payment, or regular instalments. 
  • Getting your wages paid in – As debit cards have an account number and sort code, you can have your wages paid directly onto your debit card. 

Is my debit card safe?

Yes! We’ve worked hard to make sure your money is safeguarded at all times. Your money will be kept safe in a separate bank account that nobody can access – not even by us! 

Our inbuilt web security measures mean that nobody can get to your hard-earned cash. Fraudsters, thieves, creditors and even our team won’t be able to access your money. 

Here are some other ways we keep your money secure: 

  • We won’t send your PIN by post 
  • Your mobile app is accessed with a 5-digit PIN or your unique fingerprint/Face ID 
  • You can freeze and unfreeze your card from your phone for those ‘just in case’ moments 
  • Your money is safeguarded under the Electronic Money Regulations Act 2011. 

Can I use my debit card with PayPal? 

You can. If you want a quick and easy way to complete purchases online, it’s a good idea to link your card with PayPal. 

For more information on how see our handy guide on linking your card to PayPal.

Can I get into debt with a Suits Me® debit card? 

No. With a Suits Me® debit card, you can only spend what’s loaded onto your card. As we don’t offer an overdraft facility, you won’t be able to borrow money. 

That way, it’s far easier to manage your finances.

When can I start using my debit card? 

As soon as you’ve received your Suits Me® debit card in the post (usually within 3-5 working days) you can use it. Simply activate your card online or over the phone. 

Once you’ve opened your account, you can start managing your money right away by setting up your online and mobile money account.
