Things to consider
The SRG Finance Prepaid Visa Card works by you preloading funds onto your card. Once your funds are loaded onto your card, you can use your Prepaid Visa card to make purchases or carry out transactions. This card differs from a regular Visa Debit Card as it is not linked directly to your bank account. Your SRG Prepaid Visa can be issued to you if you are approved for a cash advance or personal loan with SRG Finance.

How to apply for prepaid visa
To be eligible for a SRG Finance Prepaid Visa, you will need to take out a personal loan or cash advance with SRG. After you have done this, you can be issued with a Prepaid Visa. However, there are some other eligibilities you must be:
- At least 18 years of age You must be at least 18 years old to apply for personal loans and cash advances, therefore, you can only get this prepaid card if you are at least 18 years old.

Hi Julie,
Thanks for your question.
Unfortunately you can’t top up a SRG finance cash loan. Other types of personal loans may be eligible for a top up but will require a reassessment.
Cheers,
Shirley
