The Lasell College Visa® Prepaid Card*, (the "prepaid card"), is the quickest and easiest way for you to receive Refunds from your school. It's reloadable and can be used to access cash at ATMs or banks, or to make a wide variety of purchases. It is not a credit card, so you cannot spend more than what is in the card account, and no interest is charged on purchases.

• Why choose the prepaid card for a refund or for payments from your school?
  • Quick Access to Funds: While you still have the option of requesting ACH or a paper check for Refunds, the customized prepaid card provides quick access to funds as soon as they are released by your school. There are no delays related to ACH or check processing, no waiting for checks to arrive in the mail, and no need to wait in line at school or at the bank.
  • Flexibility: Use the prepaid card not only to get access to cash at ATMs nationwide, but also to make purchases anywhere a Visa debit card is accepted – for meals, books, retail shops, even for travel!
  • Reloadable: The prepaid card is reloadable, so a parent, guardian, family member or even a friend may load funds directly to the card. You may also have paychecks from employers deposited directly into your prepaid card account.
  • Bill Pay: Never miss a bill payment again! Use your prepaid card account to schedule automatic payments to various billers, from utility companies to your landlord - anyone you choose.
  • Card to Card Transfer: Share funds with other school classmates who also have the Lasell College Visa® Prepaid Card. Simply go to your online options under Send or Request money!
