DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/qxlfhp/the_prepaid_advant) has announced the addition of the "The Prepaid Advantage for Governments" report to their offering.
Prepaid solutions represent one of the most innovative propositions in the payment industry due to their inherent flexibility, convenience and applications across a broad range of industry sectors. It's no wonder that banks, payment networks and programme managers have devoted such significant resources and investment into promoting their usage, but each industry vertical requires significantly different business models as end-user groups require different needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach will quickly doom some programmes to failure. It is widely recognised within the prepaid industry that perhaps of all prepaid sectors, it is the government sector which promises the most stable and growing growth for prepaid solutions. In this report, we examine the factors that have made prepaid such a win-win proposition in this sector and how government agencies have replaced cumbersome paper-based processes with prepaid solutions, helping them to lower costs and deliver greater efficiency and benefits to all stakeholders.
