Visa is one of my clients. They have a multitude of card options for everyone in any financial situation. There are prepaid Visa cards that you add money to before hand. Then you use it like any other credit card, but money is deducted from your account. This is good for kids in college who might want to charge a new car on credit and you finding a huge bill the next month!
There are also gift cards, same thing, but you load them up with a set amount and your recipient uses it as a regular card.
There are also check cards that are linked to your checking or savings account and you automatically draw from that.
Anyway, there are lot of options available. Here's a
link to the US site covering these types of cards.
