Here you can get money out of the machines at almost every bank no problem and when I was in Paris last month I could use it almost everywhere.
have you by any chance used it or tried to use it to purchase goods?

As far I have known they were the first company to use the 'Payrole Card' to opperate stored value accounts.

The former company I worked with explored this though never took it any further. I have been interested in stored value solutions for years since reading a report by KPMG relating to non card holders finding it difficult to obtain goods / services online.

In the UK we have a 'Pay Point' network which is in essence a 'stored value account' though for offline users. Its mainly used by families/people on low incomes to keep on top of their bils though would be great way to get funds into an account which could then be used online.
