SCL & Visa will be presenting their collective experience in the world of prepaid, focussing on the theme of innovation.

As well as the technical innovation that both organisations can demonstrate their leadership in, the presenters will also chart the evolution of prepaid programmes in terms of product innovation, covering all prepaid categories from Giftcards to Multi-function event & transit cards.

The webinar will also highlight innovation in evangelising prepaid into new markets and examine some of the adaptations that are needed to specialise or localise programmes to cater for the differing perceptions, attitudes and market conditions in previously un- or under-served territories.

Similarly, it will focus on the migration of prepaid from the world of retail into different areas such as government, healthcare, insurance, entertainment and transport.

The theme of innovation will be illustrated throughout with real-world examples from both organisations.

What you will learn from attending:

  • Understand the role innovation has played in the growth and development of the prepaid market
  • Hear real life case studies of how innovation has been used
  • See the latest developments in prepaid and hear what's coming next
