Do you have to be 18 to get a prepaid visa debit card?

Question

im 16 years old and i want to get a debit card so i can shop online, i know i can buy them from stores but can i order them online?

Answer 1

Thats exactly the question I want answered too.

Answer 2

To get one under your own name, you need to be 18.  That is the minimum age for signing the legal contract.  

Your parents can get one for/with you at the age of 16.  They would be the ones liable until you turn 18.  

Answer 3

ya very nice

Answer 4

No. I have a sixteen years old son who uses a debit card. You need to go to a bank with your parent/guardian and open an account. He used it to buy all his computer parts from several online stores.

If you already have a debit card with visa or master card logo on it, you should be able to use it to buy from online stores.
