Is O2 right to target teenagers with its new pre-pay Visa card, and what control do parents really have over their child’s spending?
Last year Lloyds TSB sparked outrage after Guardian Money revealed it had issued Visa debit cards to children as young as 11, without first contacting parents. One father discovered his 15-year-old son was buying Viagra, fake ID and cigarettes over the internet only when the Post Office asked for a customs payment.
This week mobile phone operator O2 unveiled a mass roll-out of a new “pre-pay” Visa card for teenagers, beginning this summer. It is targeting children as young as 13 with the card, which it expects to replace traditional pocket money.
The average age at which a child obtains a mobile phone is now just eight years old, and one in five children are already pinching their parents’ debit or credit card to buy goods on the net, such as music downloads. So is O2 right to target teenagers in this way? And what controls will parents have over the way they spend their money?
What is it? It’s called “Load & Go” and it’s a Visa card, identical to the other plastic cards in an individual’s wallet. But it’s not a debit card (which deducts money from a current account) or a credit card (which allows users to go into debt). Instead it’s a “pre-pay” card, where the holder does not need to have a current account. A parent or guardian can load money on to the card from an online bank account or at 20,000 pay points around the country.
Once the money is on the card, teenagers can use it how they like – to take cash out of an ATM, to buy goods in a shop (using a Pin number) and to buy a multitude of things online. Every time a purchase is made, O2 will send the card holder a text showing the remaining balance on the card.
How do they know my child is 13 or older? It comes down to parental responsibility. In truth, O2 – or any card provider – can’t prove the age of a teenage applicant. But O2 has learnt lessons from Lloyds TSB, which sent Visa debit cards directly to children. It says: “A parental notification letter is automatically generated and sent to the parent or guardian of the applicant at the address they provide if they are less than 16 years of age.”
Ah, but couldn’t a teenager simply watch out for the post and get there first? O2 has thought about this and says: “The letter will be sent in a plain, unbranded envelope to make it more difficult for a child to spot and intercept it. By sending a notification letter to parents, we will enable any parent who was previously unaware their child had applied for a card to discuss it with them and even stop the application.”
So what’s going to stop them buying porn or booze over the net? O2 is working with NatWest, which will process payments on the card, to identify the sites and outlets where use of the card will be banned altogether. It seems banks can tell from codes used by online vendors which ones indicate the business is in age-restricted goods or services.
On sites such as Amazon, individual product codes will alert Visa that the item being bought may be, say, an 18-certificate DVD, and the purchase will be barred. In shops, retailers will remain responsible for checking the age of those buying alcohol or cigarettes.
Hold on, won’t net-savvy kids get around this? Probably. A quick search by Guardian Money found scores of sites selling cigarettes without any age verification. Some have a front page that asks a user to press “I am over 18″, but that’s about it.
But O2 says this is no reason why all teenagers should be banned from having Visa-enabled cards. “Age verification is a major issue for the whole retail sector. For example, there is currently no database of under-18s against which retailers can cross-check age and identity. This is not a problem O2 can solve alone, and we do not believe simply preventing young people from having Visa cards is the solution.”
Is there anything in it for me as a parent? You can safely put your feet up when your 15-year-old daughter rings up with no money for a taxi, demanding a lift. You’d go online, add £20 to her card and tell her to withdraw it from a cash machine and get a taxi. And the card has some obvious benefits if your offspring is on a gap year.
Will it mean my teenager will be more vulnerable to theft at school? Aren’t mobiles nicked all the time? O2 says its Load & Go card is safer than carrying cash because the cards are protected by chip and pin, and can be cancelled if they are stolen. And it’s impossible to withdraw or spend more money than has been loaded on to the card.
Will O2 be tracking everything they spend and target them with products? This must be a worry. Bringing together mobiles (which know your location) and payment cards (which know what you like spending your cash on) opens up a thrilling new world for marketeers to push products at you as you walk by commercial outlets.
Tell your child to think carefully before opting in to the “benefits and offers” O2 will no doubt want to share. It says: “We will never use their data to market products and services to them unless they have specifically opted in to receive offers and benefits.”
OK, I’m giving one to my child. How do I do it? Go to www.o2.co.uk/money where you can load money on to a child’s card. Alternatively, cash can be loaded using either ePay or PayPoint terminals in thousands of stores across the UK, including all O2 stores.
And an adult version that’s fee-free
O2 is not just launching a card for teens. It has also launched a pre-pay Visa card for adults, called Cash Manager, which may finally make these products a viable choice for millions.
The chief attraction of Cash Manager is that it’s free of charges. Until now, pre-pay cards have tended to levy an “issuing fee” (usually £10), monthly fees (up to £5 at some providers) and “reload” fees. They have largely been used as an alternative to travellers’ cheques when overseas.
But now Britain’s unbanked – especially recent immigrants, but all those refused banking facilities – can obtain a Visa card for free. They’ll be able to load it with cash at thousands of Paypoint and ePay terminals around the country, which will then allow them to buy goods over the net or over the phone.
The catch is that you have to have an O2 mobile. The cheapest deal the network offers right now is its Sim-only Pay & Go deal, although you have keep it active by topping up £10 every three months.
If you don’t want to sign up with O2, there are plenty of other pre-pay deals, although all come with some level of charging.
Try the website what-prepaid-card.co.uk to compare deals. Virgin has a MasterCard, which does not charge a monthly fee but has a start-up fee of £9.95.
The Post Office offers its Travel Card, which has no issuing fee or monthly fee, but charges a 1.5% fee when re-loading money.
Its big attraction is that it is an Electron card – so you can avoid the £5 that Ryanair charges on each leg of a flight.
