ABSTRACT:
A reloadable debit card system includes an issuing institution whereat a main account is set up and multiple sub-accounts are established thereunder. Each sub-account corresponds to a respective cardholder. The sub-accounts are established and debit cards are printed with respective sub-account numbers prior to distributing the cards to an 80 POS distribution network. The cards are purchased from the POS member establishments for predetermined incremental values. Value can be added to such cards in such increments. A reloadable debit card method includes the steps of establishing a main account at an issuing institution and establishing sub-accounts thereunder. Multiple debit cards are printed with the respective sub-account numbers. The cards are then distributed to POS establishments for sale to cardholders, resulting in credits to the sub-accounts. Goods and services can be purchased with the cards whereupon the sub-accounts are debited. Negotiable instruments, such as money orders and the like, can optionally be purchased with the cards.
