If there ever was a living, breathing version of the American Dream, it would be Farrah Gray.
A self-made millionaire by age 14, Gray is now an internationally known and respected entrepreneur and business leader who addresses more than half a million people per year on topics such as leadership, personal development, diversity, business development and financial management.
His newest venture, with First Premier Bank and Diamond Financial Products, is the “goFarr” card, a prepaid MasterCard featuring his likeness. The card is designed to increase financial literacy and freedom for those without a credit history or who are unable to get access to a line of credit.
Because the card is prepaid, there are no interest payments, credit checks or employment requirements, and unlike most prepaid cards, the goFarr card has no monthly fees. It can be used anywhere debit MasterCard is accepted, including ATMs, and cardholders can use the card to pay bills online or get employers to do a direct deposit onto the card.
Cardholders can monitor when, where and how much they spend 24 hours a day through Web and telephone access to account information....
