After you’re done adding My Bank Tracker to your Twitter account or RSS feed reader, there’s something else on the cutting edge of financial social networking you might want to check out.

It’s called a Facecard, and it’s most useful for teenagers and young adults. According to its website, “Facecard is a prepaid reloadable MasterCard” with a social networking twist, and anyone 13 years or older can use one.

To get started, you’ll need to set up an account on the Facecard site. After creating an account, your teen (or anyone else) can use the Facecard anywhere MasterCard is accepted, and friends or family can add money to it at any time. It can also be used to send money to someone else’s Facecard. All account activity is managed online, either by going to the site directly or by using a Facecard widget that can be added to your Facebook account. This includes checking the card balance, which can also be checked with a cell phone via text message. In addition to Facecard’s convenience and social networking features, there’s no activation or monthly maintenance fees and, because of the prepaid debit card setup, it can’t be overdrawn.
