MasterCard Worldwide last night announced the winners of the MasterCard Europe
Prepaid Awards, at its 2nd MasterCard Prepaid Conference in Cannes. The Prepaid
Awards have been established to recognise excellence and innovation in the prepaid card
segment of the European payments industry.
“White Eagle is a worthy winner of the MasterCard Europe Prepaid Awards, as we
have brought creativity and innovation to the prepaid card market which enables a
unique customer focus.” Simon Noakes, Marketing Director of White Eagle said.
“I am extremely pleased to see our member company White Eagle PLC taking this
major award. The BPCC has been engaged in supporting international worker mobility
for the last four years with a specific focus on professional recruitment, excellence in
employment standards and making it easy for people to live and work across the EU.
This card enables a step change in two crucial areas for mobile workers – money and
mobile communication. It offers significant value to both employee and employer in
the international worker space”commented Martin Oxley BPCC CEO.
Unlike many prepaid card offerings, White Eagle has made substantial investment and
developed its own technology to become a ‘Programme Manager’ - offering advanced
web services integration, transactional security and unsurpassed multi-language customer
support - as well as creating a truly flexible model for the rapid roll-out of new programs,
niche and mass market. This model is based on the 21st century business principles of
‘one-size’ does not fit all, and enables White Eagle to deliver new programs with ease
and speed.
Warren Hardy, Chairman of White Eagle adds, “There may be other prepaid cards, but
White Eagle is more than just a prepaid card – it offers value-added products and
services appropriate to the program. Our award winning ‘Migrant Prepaid Card
Programme’ gives the Cardholder everything they need to settle into the UK – not just
a prepaid card. This includes instant banking, low cost money transfers, cheap
international calls, as well as access to useful information and links. No-one else
comes close to delivering this breadth of programme, and it is a testament to the staff at
White Eagle who have worked tirelessly since day one to make this happen.”
What the judges said:
"White Eagle truly deserves this MasterCard Prepaid Award for its dynamic approach
to marketing it’s first prepaid card programme. This includes full multi-language
collateral, a multi-language customer service call centre – along with iconic and
engaging designs to make it stand out from the crowd. White Eagle is an exciting new
entrant, and one to watch in the future."
