FULL STORY:
Just in time for back-to-school, College Parents of America and Debix Systems
have teamed up to offer a pre-paid stored-value MasterCard. The College Parents
of America MasterCard debit card can be used to obtain cash from an ATM machine
and for purchases. Parents, as well as students, can regularly track spending
activity and remaining balances via a Web interface. The card is also
re-loadable whereby students and parents can add additional funds via the Web
or by calling the toll-free customer service line. CPA and Debix also announced
they are offering a credit card version of the MasterCard under which parents
can set credit limits and monitor the account. Parents who acquire either CPA
card for their student will receive the College Parents of America/MasterCard
International produced booklet "Money Talks-Helping Your High School and
