The Appeal of the Prepaid Card

January 19, 2016 by rapid! PayCard

At first reflection, prepaid cards may seem a solution with limited bandwidth; suitable only for those with no other means of establishing and maintaining traditional bank and credit card accounts.   Yet, as other tools have successfully morphed from their original intention (think Facebook moving from its original Harvard campus setting and transforming into an international behemoth), so have prepaid cards effectively made their journey from one subset into the general population.   Prepaids Offer a Better Deal than Checking Accounts The PEW Charitable Trusts, an independent nonprofit organization that has itself evolved — into a global research and public policy organization — as a non-governmental organization, they are dedicated to serving the public.  … Read More

Are Prepaid Cards Becoming More Mainstream?

April 28, 2015 by rapid! PayCard

With millions of Americans falling into the category of being “unbanked” or “underbanked,” meaning they either have no bank account, or if they do, they still rely on alternative financial providers to meet some of their needs, it’s no surprise that nearly 10 million households used prepaid cards from 2012 to 2013. That number is continuing to increase and data is showing that the demographics are shifting as well.
