Paybefore Announces 2012 Paybefore Awards Winners

Jan. 27, 2012

Paybefore today announced the winners in the 2012 Paybefore Awards, the most prestigious recognition of excellence in the worldwide prepaid and stored value industry. The awards are presented annually by Paybefore, whose publications are the leading source of industry information for the global prepaid community.

“Paybefore Awards was created to honor the companies and individuals that are keeping prepaid on the cutting edge of payments,” said Loraine DeBonis, Paybefore editor-in-chief and chair of the judging panel.

“Our industry continues to break new ground and expand the reach of electronic payments because of the businesses that make innovation and execution a priority,” she continued. “We are proud to recognize the contributions of our winners to advancing the prepaid industry.”

“Prepaid is the fastest-growing area of payments because it addresses unmet payment needs of consumers, businesses and governments,” added Marilyn Bochicchio, Paybefore’s CEO. “Paybefore Awards recognizes the creativity of prepaid practitioners in developing programs that address these needs more effectively than cash, checks or even other types of payment cards.”

This year’s Paybefore Awards was extremely competitive, with companies from across the globe vying for recognition as the best in the world in 20 diverse categories. Winners now are competing to be named “Best in Category” at the 2012 Paybefore Awards ceremony to be held during the Prepaid Expo USA. The Industry Achievement winner also will be named for the first time at the ceremony.

You are invited to join us as we celebrate the best in global prepaid on Monday, March 12 from 5 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. in the Islander Room at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Click here to add the event to your Outlook calendar.
