Prepaid & Stored Value SIG

Next Wednesday’s Prepaid & Stored Value SIG will see speakers gathered from all corners of the Prepaid world and content that has been carefully curated to provide what will be a very informative day, discussing the life of various stakeholders in the prepaid sector. Prepaid has often been unfairly pigeonholed in the recent past as a specialist payments method and over-looked by large corporations. This has changed over recent years and there is much to write home about, with the prepaid sector seeking to bridge into more mainstream payment channels with the advent of PSD2.
