Why Millennials Like Prepaid
Quantitative and qualitative research support these customer
experience benefits
Prepaid customers want to be smart about money and
manage their accounts on their mobile phones. They
want to stay out of debt and avoid interest charges that
come with credit cards.
MANAGE MONEY ONLINE
Unlike cash, reloadable prepaid cards may offer zero
liability in case of fraud or a lost card.
SAFETY
For consumers whose alternative is cash, they’re looking
for a way to pay when they shop online. A prepaid card
can be used for online payments or for paying bills over
the phone.
SHOP ONLINE or PAY OVER THE PHONE
“My prepaid card helps me manage my money”
