Payment processors have a way to block prepaid cards, and I wouldn't be surprised if many organizations used these as a blunt instrument to prevent fraud. A political organization can probably even decide to treat those transactions as though they were anonymous cash donations.

> The funding parameter of the card object exposes whether the card is a credit, debit, or prepaid card. A card may be unknown if Stripe was unable to determine its funding type.
