Flemish term or phrase: kredietkaart met geldreserve
I cannot find a satisfactory translation for "geldreserve". Pile of cash doesn't really do it.

Prepaid credit cards
Explanation:
http://www.rlrouse.com/prepaid-credit-cards.html
The concept of prepaid credit cards is really very simple. You open an account and "pre-load" the card with cash up-front, similar to a pre-paid calling card. Then you use your prepaid MasterCard or Visa anywhere these cards are accepted.

cash reserve/facility


Explanation:
Het is een geldreserve die niet rechtstreeks met de bankrekening verbonden is en waar men permanent over kan beschikken; m.a.w. het terugbetaalde kapitaal kan opnieuw heropgenomen worden; meestal is er ook een betaalkaart aan verbonden;

Opnames kunnen onder verschillende vormen gebeuren:
- rechtstreeks in winkels betalen aan de hand van de bijhorende betaalkaart met geheime code;
- het geld opvragen met die kaart aan de automaat;
- een bedrag vanuit de reserve laten overschrijven naar de bankrekening (meestal telefonisch).

credit limit or credit facility


Explanation:
there are 2 types of credit cards in Belgium. The one most of us have, with a (monthly) credit limit and which is deducted in it's entirely at the end of the month.
But there is a newer type that has to be applied for and isn't issued to everyone. That one allows you to have a credit facility-ie not pay back all of it at the end of the month, but bit by bit (like the credit cards in the US for example). So it depends on which one you are talking about.

neutral  writeaway: if this is supposed to be for Europe, then I must say I've never ever heard of any such thing. http://www.fortisbank.be/page/Geldreserve.asp?Type=Lenen&Top... it's got nothing to do with being a pre-paid card/no prob-just saw it again.
