White Eagle's launches Prepaid MasterCard® Programme for Go Money Solutions Ltd
Online, November 9, 2009 (Newswire.com) - November 2009
White Eagle (Europe) Plc, a leading global prepaid solutions provider today announces the launch of the GO: Prepaid MasterCard - a general spend card which is loaded directly with Government benefits.
The GO: Prepaid MasterCard is a flexible, re-loadable prepaid card with chip and PIN security which can also be used for free and instant money share with the addition of a Companion Card.
The card programme was made possible with the technical expertise of White Eagle. Philippe Hardy, UK Sales Director of White Eagle comments: "Go Money's professional and entrepreneurial approach will make this card programme a huge success. They have thought through what their customers want out of a Prepaid card and have made the process simple and good value with great benefits to their customer to give them financial inclusion."
The White Eagle platform allows the users of this card to retrieve their PIN over an IVR (interactive voice recognition) solution, activate their card, check their balance, lock and unlock their card any time via their mobile phones using SMS.
Steve Tobin, Director of Go Money commented, "We are all very excited at GO: Card because we feel that we have the card to really facilitate increased levels of previously financial excluded customers who will have greater card functionality than they are at present afforded. The prepaid industry has only scratched the surface of its intrinsic and emerging capabilities and we see it simply as "the" tool to enable financial inclusion throughout the UK for customers in receipt of benefit and low wages who couldn't until now obtain a prepaid card through the usual channels or even a basic bank account with MasterCard/Visa functionality." www.mygocard.co.uk
