“Having a sponsor bank paves the way for FundsTech to turn our backlog of prepaid card customers into revenue generating cardholders through our existing strategic partners.” said David Fann, President.  

 

Due to the Non-Disclosure agreement between the parties the company cannot disclose the name of the sponsor bank at this time.


Victoria Vaksman, Executive Vice President of Europe, Middle East and Africa for FundsTech Corp stated: “We are very happy to achieve this important step in our South African strategy, and in addition to marrying a top sponsor bank with a highly capable and experienced FundsTech sales channel partner it also allows us to focus more completely on expanding our cardholder base and allows us to start servicing our customer backlog in this country. Looking forward, our partners in South Africa are in the process of securing a significant customer base and we are delighted to be in a position to finalize current potential deals and start issuing cards in the immediate future.”  Ms Vaksman continued, “South Africa is a strategically important country in FundsTech’s business model of penetrating into emerging markets and we will be able to leverage these two relationships to do just that.  During the next 18 months we envision issuing over 1,100,000 cards on the territory of South Africa.”  The industry monthly average fees for prepaid cards are estimated to be approximately $12.00 per month.

 

Sybille McCloghrie the CEO of Symelation said, "The implementation of customised tailor-maid prepaid solutions for our customers is a complex and time consuming process.  FundsTech brings this to us, and also allows us to add a most important component - an agreement with the right Sponsor Bank in the territory.  There are more than 13 million unbanked individuals in South Africa and we are glad to be in a position to start servicing this previously disadvantaged category of potential clients.”
