Pioneering product from allpay shortlisted for global card award

Aug. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Payments specialist allpay Limited has been shortlisted in the global Prepaid Awards 2010 for its outstanding Prepaid Card manufacturing.

It is one of four organisations shortlisted in the manufacturing category of the Awards which attract submissions from the US, Australia, Russia and across Europe. Other category shortlists include big names such as Asda, Comet, New Look and Starbucks.

The UK’s newest independent company to achieve full MasterCard and Visa© accreditation, allpay manufactures, chip embeds, personalises and fulfils card products for the likes of banks, building societies, financial institutions, public sector organisations and credit unions at its Herefordshire premises.

“We are thrilled to be in the final four of the manufacturing category of such a prestigious awards event. According to the organisers the competition has been fierce so its testament to allpay’s hardworking teams who have developed an impressive end-to-end Prepaid service offering,” comments Deputy Managing Director for allpay, Mark Thomas.

“allpay’s unique position as a Program Manager, Card Manufacturer and Personalisation Bureau allows us to give easy access to generic and bespoke card programs which could previously have been cost prohibitive to clients. Everything is done in-house, we don’t rely on third parties, and this means we can be highly responsive and offer unrivalled lead times.

“As an independent company we are able to meet the changing needs of organisations making payments to their customers. In fact, we’ve become pioneers in the public sector arena and this can only strengthen our intention to offer global access to cost effective payment solutions,” concludes Mark.  

The winner of the Manufacturing and 11 other categories will be announced at an awards ceremony in London on October 7th, which will be attended by over 400 guests.
