- gpm 8y agoDoesn't a debit card require a bank account, at least behind the scenes?
- jpindar 8y agoIt doesn't require the person who gets the card to have, or be eligible for, a bank account. You don't need a bank account to use a pre-paid gift card either. I suppose they would have an account number within the organization that is distributing the money, but that's not quite the same thing, and surely has less overhead.
