MANY PEOPLE DON'T RECEIVE A STEADY PAYCHECK. SO, INSTEAD OF HAVING A BANK-ACCOUNT, THEY OFTEN GO TO A CHECK-CASHING PLACE. THEN, THEY BUY PREPAID CARDS--SO THEY CAN MAKE PURCHASES, OR PAY BILLS, ONLINE. NOT ONLY CAN THAT BE INCONVENIENT--BUT HIGH FEES ARE OFTEN CHARGED. NOW, THERE'S A SOLUTION: WITH THE NEW "PAYPAL CASH-CARD", YOU CAN PUT MONEY INTO YOUR "PAYPAL"-ACCOUNT--AND THEN USE IT TO PAY BILLS OR MAKE PURCHASES, ONLINE OR AT ANY STORES WHERE "MASTERCARD" IS ACCEPTED. YOU CAN ALSO WITHDRAW CASH FROM A-T-M'S--INCLUDING 25-THOUSAND THAT ARE FREE, NATIONWIDE. IT'S FREE TO SIGN UP--AND THERE ARE NO MONTHLY FEES, OR MINIMUM-BALANCE REQUIREMENTS. ALSO, IT'S EASY TO ADD MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT--THROUGH DIRECT DEPOSIT, BY CASHING A CHECK USING THE "PAYPAL"-APP, OR BY ADDING CASH AT 85-THOUSAND RETAIL LOCATIONS. SO, NOW, UNBANKED CONSUMERS CAN ACCESS THE DIGITAL ECONOMY, IN AN AFFORDABLE, CONVENIENT, AND SECURE WAY. TO LEARN MORE, VISIT "PAYPAL"-DOT-COM-SLASH-"GET-THE-CARD".
