Prepaid Visa cards can be funded through MoneyGram

MoneyGram International, a leading provider of global payment services, and Visa Inc, announced this week that they are launching a new program Visa ReadyLink. The program represents Visa’s prepaid load network in MoneyGram’s 40,000 agent locations across the United States which will be providing underserved consumers with more convenient options to add funds to their Visa reloadable prepaid cards.

Consumers with any Visa ReadyLink-enabled prepaid card will be allowed by MoneyGram to add funds in real time from anywhere MoneyGram Money Transfer and ExpressPayment are offered. MoneyGram joins more than 8,000 participating Visa ReadyLink locations.

“By making Visa ReadyLink available in MoneyGram’s locations, we’re able to offer greater access and convenience to Visa prepaid cardholders seeking a better alternative to a cash-and-carry lifestyle,” said Elizabeth Buse, global head of products, Visa Inc. “Prepaid is a key priority for Visa and a vital part of our long-term growth strategy. That's why we continue to invest in building upon what we believe is the industry's most flexible and robust prepaid product suite and infrastructure.”
