EMAIL NOTIFICATION ON VISA CARDS . I THINK IT IS A GREAT SERVICE AND A GREAT SECURITY AND FRAUD DETERRENT.
I HAVE BEEN USING A VISA CARD FOR MY WIFE AND CHILD ISSUED BY A COMPANY CALLED POCKETCARD. THIS WAS AN INCREDIBLE SERVICE THEY HAD A ONLINE SITE THAT I COULD GO TO AND ADD SPENDING MONEY TO OTHER CARDS ON MY GROUP AND WHEN THEY WERE USED I WOULD RECEIVE EMAIL NOTIFICATION OF WHEN/WHERE AND HOW MUCH WAS CHARGED WITHIN MINUTES OF THE TRANSACTION OCCURRING. THIS ALLOWED ME TO MONITOR AND MAINTAIN GOOD BALANCE ON EACH ACCOUNT. UNFORTUNATELY THIS POCKETCARD COMPANY SEEMS TO BE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.
I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD RECOMMEND SOME VISA / MC PROVIDERS THAT OFFER EMAIL NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTION. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THAT SERVICE AGAIN.

Frank,
You may find our Sept. 2000 article to be of interest. It discusses services similar to Pocketcard that are available to teens. Thanks for letting us know about PocketCard. It is sad to see them fold. I know a lot of people really liked their service. I wonder what happened. Anyway, the link is:

Frank and Dee,
I just got off the phone with a Pocketcard rep. and the rep. confirmed that they will be going out of business. The rep. indicated that they were unable to obtain more financing. Such is the fate of many internet start-ups these days. Pocketcard has been very popular..so their demise was not due to a lack of interest.
Other sites that offer similar services are:
http://www.m2card.com
http://www.cobaltcard.com
http://www.visabuzz.com
These sites seem to cater more to teens and college students, as opposed to small businesses.
