Hey,

Just like you, I used to wreck my brain, thinking about prepaid payment instruments examples. I used to think debit cards were a good example of the same. Boy, was I wrong. Despite both of the cards being seen and used in the consumer cycle. There are differences and similarities between prepaid and postpaid payment instruments.
