Hi, I'm hoping someone has experience of this.
I recently and sadly had to activate my power of attorney for my dad's banking as there was an attempted fraud to his account and sue to a fall earlier in the year he's on a lot of painkiller medication and is unable to manage his finances safely.
I've been advised by his first direct bank to get him a pre-paid debit card (they don't do one) so he can still have some independence and spend on bits and pieces- things like orders from Amazon or going to the supermarket etc.
I've looked into cards like Revolut and am getting in a middle and want to ensure I'm doing everything correctly.
- can I create a pre-pay card in his name? If so can I put my address in it for any correspondence?
- if not, and it has to be in my name, can he still use it legally?
Thanks! Terrified of doing something wrong. It's such a responsibility and banks aren't always helpful- they just told me to open a pre-paid debit card.
