Can I make contactless payments?

Can I use my prepaid card to pay at filling stations?
If you want to be able to use your prepaid card to pay outside at the pump at a filling station, you’ll need to make sure that there’s at least 125 euros on your card. This is usually the amount filling stations hold as a reserve on your card (though it can be more than that). It comes off the available balance on your card even before you've finished filling up and the exact amount is known. The actual cost of your fill-up will be charged to your card a couple of days afterwards, when the reserve on your card is released.
Can I use my prepaid card to withdraw cash?
You can withdraw up to 620 euros in cash over any four-day period at ATMs displaying the Mastercard logo.
Charges for paying abroad
Withdrawing cash and paying abroad with your prepaid card can sometimes attract charges.
