Noida, UP -- (SBWire) -- 08/26/2013 --Prepaid cards are rapidly evolving as an easy and convenient way to provide financial assistance to the underserved. While on one hand, consumer to Government (C2G) payments are on rise through prepaid cards that can be swapped at PoS terminals or used for online transactions, on the other hand, numerous Government schemes have propped up to provide financial aid to the poor through better option of prepaid cards which restricts the misuse of money being transferred from the Government authorities to the deserving hands.
In a bid to increase transparency in payment systems, Government is trying to channel wage payments through prepaid cards. For instance, in near future, NREGS (National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) workers shall be entitled to payments through prepaid cards. In another effort, Delhi Government has launched the ‘Saral Money Prepaid card’ to provide banking services to those people who are unable to open a bank account due to lack of supporting documents for their ‘know your customer’ (KYC) verification. Many such initiatives are underway to enhance transparency in the payment system and streamline cumbersome payment processes.
