The new prepaid VISA card for teenagers picked up a second issuer this week. Bank of America is releasing its version of VISA Buxx. The BofA VISA Buxx Card also features gift certificates redeemable at specified merchants who have joined the program. Certain merchants have agreed to offer additional discounts and other incentives throughout the year when customers pay with a VISA Buxx Card. VISA announced the development of the parent-controlled, re-loadable payment card in August. Parents are able to monitor how much money their teen spends by viewing current or past account statements on the VISA Buxx website or by a toll-free number that details where and when purchases were made. The teen's name is embossed on the card, and all materials are mailed directly to the parents' address. U.S. Bancorp became the first VISA Buxx issuer with the release of its card on Aug. 21.
