i2c Provides Prepaid Processing Services to CardFlex Japan
- Companies launch Tay Two Visa prepaid card and collaborate to bring additional prepaid products to Japanese consumers
The Tay Two Visa prepaid card will provide Japanese consumers with a new payment option that combines the flexibility of cash with the convenience of card payments. Consumers will be able to load money onto the cards online and via mobile app and make payments online or in person anywhere Visa debit cards are accepted.
“We are thrilled to bring the convenience, reliability and flexibility of prepaid payments to consumers across Japan with the launch of the Tay Two card,” says Kaoru Arai, chief executive officer, of CardFlex Japan. “As more Japanese consumers demand cashless payment options, we expect the opportunity for prepaid in Japan to grow dramatically. CardFlex Japan‘s ’Bin Sponsorship-Program Manager' model is ideally suited to bringing these essential products to market in Japan, and we look forward to working in collaboration with our partners to achieve this. Our partnership with i2c will provide the innovative technology(http://www.i2cinc.com/products/mcp) and platform stability we need to execute our prepaid strategy.”
Stephan Koukis, senior vice president, Business Advisory Group, at i2c, commented, “We believe there are tremendous opportunities to bring the value of prepaid to both consumers and organizations in Japan and across the wider Asia Pacific region. We are excited to expand our presence in the region by providing the processing technology to enable the Tay Two card. CardFlex Japan brings a turnkey prepaid solution to the Japanese market and we are eager to work with them to launch additional programs in the country.”
The companies plan to roll out additional prepaid card and gift card programs for the Japanese market over the coming years.
