AccountNow Double Winner in Prestigious Paybefore

Awards

SAN RAMON, CA, FEBRUARY 08, 2011 – AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid Card was chosen as a winner in the Best General Purpose Reloadable Program: Online Sales Category, and now it’s been chosen as a winner in the Direct Marketing Category too. Paybefore, a unit of Prepaid Media, is the leading information provider to prepaid and stored value industry professionals. The selection of the AccountNow Gold Visa Prepaid Card for awards in both the Online Sales and Direct Marketing categories by a five judge panel recognizes AccountNow, Inc.’s achievements as an industry innovator in reaching consumers without established credit or traditional banking relationships…an underserved demographic, but an important one with more than 40 million lower income people.

“In each of its five years, Paybefore Awards has attracted a wider and more diverse group of nominations,” said Paybefore CEO Marilyn Bochicchio. “This year’s entries showed exceptional creativity and thoughtfulness in using prepaid to solve real world payment issues, and provide outstanding convenience, safety and control for individuals who are the ultimate users of these products,” she said.

Paybefore Awards, now in its fifth year, is the most prestigious recognition of excellence in the industry. The awards are presented annually by Prepaid Media, whose Paybefore publications are the leading source of industry information for the global prepaid community.

“The global acceptance of prepaid is transforming payment methodology. Competitors are continually improving products or creating new ones, so we are especially pleased to be recognized by a panel of our peers by these two prestigious awards,” said AccountNow, Inc. CEO Jim Jones. “It’s an important milestone in our never ending pursuit of better ways to serve the underserved,” he said.
