Increasing Financial Empowerment
November 29, 2012 | 02:00 PM EST / 11:00 AM PST
Financially empowered citizens are the key to the nation’s economic health. Many state and local governments are rightfully concerned about and working toward helping the “unbanked” and “under-banked” build the personal and financial resources they need to achieve self-sufficiency.
Issuing benefits through prepaid cards helps achieve self-sufficiency for these citizens, freeing them from high cost, alterative financial institutions such as check cashing stores, payday lenders and title lenders. Governments benefit from decreased postage and check printing/reprinting costs.
Join GOVERNING magazine for this webinar to explore how issuing benefits with prepaid cards helps governments:
- Enable the “unbanked” to achieve self-sufficiency
- Give citizens greater security and convenience
- Reduce fraud
- Decrease postage and check printing/reprinting costs
- Increase efficiency and save time

- April 23, 2013
- Public sector organizations are under intense scrutiny to operate as efficiently and effectively as possible and with maximum transparency. An important consideration is the way in which payments are made and managed. Prepaid cards can offer flexibility, security and accountability to governments as a method of dispersing benefits, healthcare and social care payments, child benefits and housing benefits to their constituents.
