Bluecorner Cards Ltd is a British company providing prepaid payment cards aimed at under 18s and adults with poor credit ratings. The cards which last for 12 months are being provided as branded items in association with teenage magazines such as Smash Hits and Bliss and radio station Magic FM. They function as Maestro cards.
Bluecorner cards are managed by Affinity Cards Limited for Newcastle Building Society and are regulated by the Financial Services Authority.
Bluecorner cards are available to anyone 13 years or older which has led the National Consumer Council to complain they could encourage debt and "predispose them to using credit cards when they are older". [1]
