Prepaid Business Solutions

Prepaid cards are, by far, the fastest growing product category for Visa Europe.

For example – there are more than 9 million Prepaid cards in Italy alone, making it one of the biggest Prepaid markets in the world and illustrating the great potential this product can have across the rest of Europe.

A Visa prepaid card operates like a virtual bank account or a top-up mobile phone where consumers can load, use and then top-up their card funds as they like.

Anyone can have a Prepaid card, this means they can enjoy the convenience and security of a payments card without directly linking to a bank account. The cardholders spend is limited by the value that’s been pre-loaded onto the card account.

Visa Prepaid cards can be used anywhere that accepts a conventional Visa card. They are also safer than cash and can help people manage their money.
