Eagle Prepaid, a division of White Eagle (Europe) Plc and a leading global prepaid solutions provider today announces the launch of the GBN Bancorp Prepaid Card Programme.
GBN Bancorp approached Eagle Prepaid in late 2008 with a requirement to offer their worldwide members with a multi-national money management solution. This Prepaid MasterCard offers full ATM access and users benefit from Chip & PIN security.
Geoffrey Clein, CEO of GBN Bancorp commented – "As a financial services organisation, the world of Prepaid Cards broadens the scope of our business. Following some extensive research it became apparent that White Eagle (Europe) Plc's programme management division 'Eagle Prepaid', offered the most comprehensive product suite to meet our programme requirements. Since beginning the project with Eagle Prepaid, we have been kept informed about progress and the product was delivered on time and as described. We look forward to working with Eagle Prepaid on future programmes around the world."
He continues, "The GBN Bancorp Prepaid Card allows our clients to access funds in real time, 24/7, with total confidence, security and reliability. GBN offers numerous financial service products and the Prepaid Card was a natural progression of our service offering."
David Carr, Director of Card Services at Eagle Prepaid concluded – "I am very pleased to have been involved in the development of this exciting programme. Working with GBN Bancorp has allowed Eagle Prepaid to deliver functionality that is not very common outside of the UK, and it is my belief that this will be one of the most successful Prepaid Card programmes of 2009 and beyond."
