NETELLER Launches Net+ Prepaid Cards
to its e-wallet Customers
Tuesday, 21 October 2008 – NETELLER Plc (LSE: NLR), the leading
independent, global provider of online payments, is pleased to announce
that it has today begun to provide Net+™ Cards to its e-wallet
customers.
Through its partnership with TransSend Payment Services, NETELLER®
can now provide its e-wallet users with the opportunity to add Net+™
Cards to their accounts – providing increased value, security,
privacy and convenience. As of today, existing NETELLER e-wallet
consumers can sign up for these two new Net+™ prepaid cards:
* Net+ Virtual Prepaid Card by MasterCard® for use online.
The virtual card application generates a single use, unique 16 digit
card number and populates the checkout page with full payment details
for the user. The Net+ virtual card offers the convenience of paying
online (everywhere where MasterCard is accepted) from your computer
combined with high level of security and privacy. The Net+ Virtual
Card will be part of the NETELLER Desktop which, in addition, to
offering convenient, secure and private payment via Net+, will also
enable NETELLER e-wallet users to view the balance on their e-wallet
account without the need to visit the main NETELLER site.
* Net+ Prepaid Card by MasterCard®, a slick looking CHIP and
PIN plastic card which allows consumers to access funds within their
e-wallet at points-of-sale or by withdrawing cash at ATMs. The card
will be usable at 27.3 million acceptance locations, including 1.9
million ATMs and other locations where cash may be obtained.
* TransSend Payment Services and NETELLER have worked together to
offer these two great card products which have been integrated with
NETELLER’s existing platform to ensure seamless loading and
withdrawal capabilities through the NETELLER e-wallet. These two
products offer excellent value to the consumer (compared to many
other prepaid card offerings) as well as a high level of convenience
and security.
David Gagie, President of the NETELLER Group’s Member Services
division, said: "The launch of the Net+ prepaid cards will
provide our consumers with a more convenient and cost-effective
way to withdraw cash and make purchases using the funds in their
e-wallets. This launch is a key part of the Group’s strategy
to bring new customers to the NETELLER e-wallet and to extend the
lifetime value of existing customers."
