Tuxedo is regarded as one of the best partners for companies entering the co-branded prepaid market by their relentless focus on brand values, marketing support and customer relationship systems.
With the recent credit squeeze, Tuxedo has also recognised prepaid cards are being considered as the mainstream alternative way to manage and control money. They are seen as the next step toward a cashless society where using plastic instead of cash is a safer and easier way for people to transact. Recent figures forecast that Europeans are expected to spend €75 billion using prepaid cards by 2010, representing 2.3 billion transactions per annum – an increase of 110% per year over the next five years.
