No. Prepaid debit cards are not credit cards and therefore don't affect your credit rating.

A prepaid card is just a card like a bank debit card without the actual bank.

Using a prepaid debit card will not improve your credit score.

There are however prepaid credit cards that you can put a deposit on and then pay back the balance on as you use it and it will improve your credit score if you keep making the on time payments.
