Winners Announced at 7th Annual Prepaid365 Awards 2015
Prepaid365, the UK's leading prepaid card portal, announced the winners of the 7th Edition of the annual Prepaid365 Awards 2015 sponsored by Prepaid Financial Services.
The Prepaid365 Awards are the UK's dedicated consumer prepaid awards where accolades and recognition are delivered solely based on consumer votes, and the 7th edition of the awards were the largest to date with 157 entries across 30 award categories and 1.1 million votes received from over 2 million surveys over a 3 month voting period.
Consumers and existing cardholders across the UK voted for their favourite prepaid cards across various categories including General Spend, Travel, Money Transfer, Payroll, Gaming, Gifting, Basic Banking, Online Shopping and Youth as well as new categories to reward providers for e-Wallets, smartphone App's and Innovation.
Divya Sharma, Marketing & PR Director at Prepaid365, commented: "We are honoured and overwhelmed with the love and support that we continue to receive from the industry and consumers each year and the numbers at the Prepaid365 Awards 2015 are truly mindboggling. We take pride in playing our part as flag bearers for raising consumer awareness of the prepaid proposition. Next year, as we celebrate our 8th edition of the awards, we are raising the bar even further with a spectacular extravaganza - the first ever Prepaid365 Awards Dinner and Ceremony in London, to celebrate your achievements and drive even more mainstream exposure for your award winning propositions."
David Carr, CEO at EU Prepaid and one of the Judges for the B2B categories stated: "It is my belief that the 'Prepaid365 Awards' fill a niche in the market like no other, with all of the consumer card categories being voted for by the people that these cards were designed for; consumers. This unique differentiator makes them one of the most valuable awards that card programs and prepaid providers can receive. I am delighted to be invited back to judge the Business to Business Categories at the 7th Annual Prepaid365 Awards and am looking forward to seeing the published results."
