Escape Card makes budgeting easy

Hard-working Brits are paying off debts at record speed – with ‘austerity fever’ prompting consumers to live within their means.

More than £12 billion in loans and overdrafts was paid back to banks in 2010 as economic uncertainty grips the nation, and shoppers are increasingly searching for new ways of doing business without racking up credit.

The answer for many lies in the pre-paid cards such as the Escape Prepaid MasterCard from EZPay, part of the Phones4U Group.

“Modern day life often requires you to use plastic,” explained EZPay managing director Paul Smith. “More and more people are switching on to the benefits of pre-paid cards, which can be loaded with cash and then used in a traditional way. The only difference is you can only spend the funds available, making them the perfect way to manage your finances.”

In addition, the Escape Card offers a whole range of other money-saving treats for users. Available for a one-off fee of £9.99, the card can be used to access a range of cash-back deals of up to 20% when shopping online with big-name brands such as Apple, Bhs and Argos.
