15. TRUE LINK NEXT STEP PREPAID VISA
CARD
JohnAckley, CADCII, CGACII
16. What is the True Link card?
From their website:
“…TheTrue Link Next Step PrepaidVisa Card is a reloadable
Visa card that enables you to provide funds to a family
member or friend in a secure, transparent fashion.You
determine when, where, and how much money can be spent,
while your loved one is able to purchase what they
need safely.”
17. What are the feature/benefits of
the card?
The card is set-up with two-person approach.
The Card Administrator, who manages the loading of the card, and
manages the customizable boundaries built into the card (more on
that in a bit).
The Card Holder is the person who will actually be using the card.
They can:
Access the card for authorized transactions within the boundaries set by the
Card Administrator,
Check their balance
Check their transaction history
They CANNOT access or alter the customizable boundaries established by
the Administrator.
18. Customizable Feature of the card

Easily load funds onto the card

Need help with budgeting?

Want a card just for the essentials?

Set up the card to work only at merchants you select.
19. Customization (continued)

Block online and phone purchases
Prevent scams and fraud
Select the right level of support
Receive real-time alerts
Use everywhere aVisa is accepted
Replace cash, checks, credit cards with one card
41. Customer Service
My experience thus far:
Very helpful
Very knowledgeable
Very fast and easy. Really.
Have had some difficulty understanding my position as a
professional. They appear to have experience working with
professionals who act asAccountAdministrators for their
clients, and don’t always “get it” that I am not operating in that
role, and that this card is being used as a demonstrator.
42. 2 Days
My first client has ordered this card, with her son assigned as
the administrator just in the past month. She received the card
in the middle of December, and came in to her next individual
session with me a week for so later, reporting that she had
already found a way to access cash off the card. 2 days. That is
all it took her to realize that she could use the card to buy a
DIFFERENT gift card at Fred Meyers, one that DOES allow
cash withdrawals. Simple. This card is NOT fool proof. Nothing
is. We all know that if theyTRULY want to gamble, our clients
can access money at any time. Its just a matter of how far they
are willing to go to access cash, contrasted with their
commitment to their recovery in that moment. With that being
said, I think this card has significant benefits in its flexibility,
boundaries, accountability, and alerts.
