AlertPay PrePaid Debit Card now available to select members

You asked for it and now you’ve got it! We are proud to announce that the first batch of NEW AlertPay PrePaid Debit Cards was sent to 2,500 select AlertPay members this week.

AlertPay members were given the opportunity to pre-register for the new card, and 2,500 were selected to receive the first batch. The response to the card continues to be very positive: when pre-registration opened on December 26, 2011, over 17,000 members signed up to receive the card. By the time the first batch of cards was available to order this week, over 57,000 members had pre-registered to receive the card.

Those who were not selected to receive the first batch will be kept on the pre-registration list and will be notified as soon as more cards are available- which will be very soon!

About the AlertPay PrePaid Debit Card

For those of you who have not heard the good news, the AlertPay PrePaid Debit Card is a new and exciting payment method, now available to AlertPay members in almost 50 countries. AlertPay members can choose between a USD or a CAD currency card.

Once members receive the card and activate it, they can load up to $5,000 CAD or USD on to the card, directly from their AlertPay E-Wallet and shop anywhere VISA cards are accepted. This new product will allow our members to make online or in-store purchases anywhere in the world without exposing their personal information.

To protect shoppers making in-store purchases, the cards are protected by a PIN code. Before an in-store purchase can be completed, the AlertPay member must enter the PIN code to confirm their identity.

Keep track of your spending

The card is a good budgeting tool because, like a credit card, it tracks all transactions. However, it has the added benefit of being linked to an AlertPay member’s e-wallet. This means an AlertPay member can easily see how funds on the card are being spent, and can control the amount of funds available by simply logging into their AlertPay account.
