What does it mean to offer valuable Prepaid services to the consumer that fit the Compass Principles?

Netspend tries to offer innovative ways to meet the needs of consumers today and their needs in the future. There is no one size fits all, products need to grow as needs evolve.

The number one anxiety for consumers is money so services need to look at themselves as providing financial services while making it stress-free and painless.

Streamliing fees, ensuring privacy and fraud protection really is beneficial for consumers, ensuring a quality product.

Also full financial integration not just Prepaid, also great customer experience and services, clear and concise liability and other disclosures. Full financial systems.

Education is the key in helping consumers.
