The News of the World and Tuxedo Money Solutions, a leading programme manager in prepaid cards have launched a co-branded prepaid 'Top-up as you go' MasterCard with PayPoint, the UK's leading convenience retail bill payment network.

The News of the World MasterCard Prepaid card will be advertised through the newspaper and customers can apply by phone or online at www.newsoftheworldprepaid.co.uk.

The cost of the card is only £6.49. For launch, the card will also offer £5 cash back on the first load of credit (minimum £10) - making the effective price of the first pack only £1.49. Customers can top-up credit as they go, giving them the reassurance that they cannot overspend.
