Prepaid Cards for your business


Prepaid cards, often (incorrectly) referred to as prepaid credit cards are relatively new in the UK. To date they have been marketed to people who typically cannot get credit or a credit card however I think prepaid cards would be great for businesses.

One idea I have is to get a prepaid card for everyone at i-KOS so that I can pay their bonus directly to a card in their name. In doing so I hope that whenever they use their card it reminds them that this is their reward. The alternative (default) method is to add it to their wages however I always find this simply gets swallowed up in bills and everyday life.

I took this idea to a couple of card issuers and was really pleased when I was told they could even offer second line embossing (to add our company name to the card). Over the coming weeks I will let you know the reality of applying for multiple cards.
