IFAN Financial Receives Unconditional Bank Approval for Prepaid Card Program from TAB Bank
AUGUST 5, 2015
SAN DIEGO, CA–(August 5, 2015) – IFAN Financial, Inc. (OTC PINK: IFAN), a designer, developer, and distributor of software to enable mobile payments, today announced that Utah-based TAB Bank has diligently approved the IFAN Prepaid Card program. As a result, all funds in the program will be FDIC insured. The addition of prepaid card services to the IFAN Payment Gateway strengthens the depth of services IFAN offers.
The IFAN Payment Gateway is a hosted gateway with flexible checkout templates, including the IFAN mobile wallet platform, which customers integrate into their website. It has the ability to accept all major cards, and it is a PCI-compliant solution. The IFAN Payment Gateway simplifies most of the work and costs of meeting regulatory requirements. It includes an online account management dashboard and the IFAN Manager is integrated in all three enterprise solutions offered by IFAN.
Christopher Mizer, President and Chief Executive Officer of IFAN Financial, said, “Adding prepaid cards to the IFAN Payment Gateway rounds out the payment and loyalty options we can offer. Users of the IFAN Platform will now be able to make purchases using a debit card that is linked to their account, even if a merchant doesn’t participate in the platform. Moreover, all funds in the program are FDIC insured, which is a significant differentiator for us. Many of the popular payment platforms lack this fundamental banking feature, and consequently, users’ funds are not entirely safe.”
Steve Scholl, Chief Financial Officer, added, “The Prepaid Card Program allows us to offer employers a comprehensive, payroll card solution including a mobile wallet. In addition, this arrangement with TAB Bank allows us to provide customizable options to increase brand exposure and recognition as part of third-party, corporate marketing programs.”
IFAN believes that the prepaid card service represents an additional marketing path that could provide rapid revenue. Studies have shown that prepaid cards are readily adopted by business and consumers and research has also proven that they can motivate customer and employee loyalty, boost workplace morale and drive new business. The prepaid card industry is over $200 billion per year and growing.
