There are many pre-paid credit and debit cards out there at the moment. Try one of those.

If you have a checking account you should be able to get a debit card through that.

You can also get a PayPal debit card that is good for whatever balance you have with PayPal.

Now this is the USA talking, may be different in the UK.

A few years ago I was looking for such a thing.

Imagine a payment service linked to a debit card, ideal for hiding money Customers could pay you and you just draw the money out of an ATM. But the UK's strict mony laundering rules will not allow such a thing.

Off shore accounts/companies which do such a thing. Your off shore company invoices the company, they pay into your off shore account and then you can spend the money on a Credit Card linked to the account.

I would never condone such practices and the all but 1% of these loopholes have been closed down anyway.

Another way is to import all your goods via an offshore company. Imagine your offshore company buys 5000 ipods from overseas at £100 each. Your offshore company then sells them to your UK company for £148.99 each.

In the UK you sell them for £149.99 each.

The benefit? Answers on a postcard

I don't even go to the ATM. I buy groceries, get haircuts, etc. with my PayPal card. If I need cash I just get "cash back" at the grocery store. I don't know if you guys have that feature, but here we can get cash from the checkout with a purchase and there is no ATM fee.

If I get $ 100 from PayPal at the ATM, PP cahrges me $ 1 and the bank charges me $ 3. If I get $ 100 at the grocery and buy a pack of chewing gum or a candy bar and it costs me nothing.

We have some ATMs which charge a flat fee, I think it's £1.50. But most don't charge. It's just more convenient most of the time to get cashback at the checkout, as in the US of A.
