Is There a Better Option Than Prepaid In My Situation? Maybe a Second Checking Account?
I pay all my bills online, and most of them are paid with debit card. Early on Sunday morning, someone tried to buy a Microsoft 365 subscription using that card, it generated a suspicious activity notification from my bank, and my card was locked.*
I have no illusions about how difficult a prepaid card is to use, but I'd like to separate my main checking from online purchases. Is there a product that will help me do that, should I open a second checking account that's only for bills, or do I just have to grit my teeth and trust my bank?
*Yes, BTW, I'm absolutely sure it's not my Microsoft subscription renewing, or that of anyone in my family.
