[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone successfully gotten a prepaid card for the use of your nanny? What I'm looking for is an easy way to provide incidental spending money for our nanny - e.g. to buy groceries - without me always having to have cash on hand.

With apps like square cash readily available and easily set up, and generic gift cards available at any grocery store, you'd think it shouldn't be so hard to find a card that provides the following features: 
a. has low monthly fee 
b. can be anonymous or in the name of the kid/nanny 
c. allows online transfers from your bank account to the card's account.

SunTrust (with which I have an account) just launched a line of prepaid debit cards, but it violates both b. and c. (the latter I was not informed of; I was explicitly told it was possible; it is not) 
Western Union seems to have the answer, but their signup form ends with an unspecified error (after you've gone through the entire signup process no less) 
Visa Buxx has bad reviews (violates a. above, as well as c.) 
Bank of America does not offer anything like it

Anyone? [/quote]
