Fifth Third Bank Introduces Reloadable Prepaid Card; Access 360o Card Provides Convenience And Control

Fifth Third Bank recently launched Access 360 ^o, a reloadable prepaid card offering customers financial control, convenience and security. The card is available through any of Fifth Third’s 1,300 banking center locations.

“Prepaid cards are a fast-growing form of payment and consumers see the value and convenience of using these cards for a variety of financial needs,” said Steven Alonso, executive vice president and head of Fifth Third’s Consumer Bank. “Access 360 ^o may be used as a budgeting tool or way to segment spending, to make secure online purchases, or as an alternative to cash for those without a traditional bank account.”

Access 360 ^o comes with a monthly service fee of $7, which is reduced to $4 for Fifth Third checking customers or customers who deposit $500 or more on their Access 360 ^o card each month. There is no charge to load money to the card and customers may do so through deposits at a Fifth Third banking center, direct deposit of paychecks or government benefits, or fund transfers from a Fifth Third Bank checking or savings account. The card can be used anywhere Debit MasterCard® is accepted, and customers may withdraw cash at any banking center or more than 2,400 Fifth Third Bank ATMs. Other features include:

• Text alerts available for daily balance notifications.
• Access to account through online and mobile banking to track balances and activity.
• MasterCard® Zero Liability protection from unauthorized purchases if the card is lost or stolen.
