"The Prepaid International Forum (PIF) organisation has helped bring a new perspective, open dialogue and spirited debate to the issues facing all of us involved in the global Prepaid market.  As everyone knows, the business itself is not straightforward and everyone has their own views on what prepaid is/isn't; but, PIF has kept the tangible/meaningful topics on the table and has helped raise the visibility around regulatory, technical, risk and business model challenges that the industry faces.  Those involved in PIF (sponsors, members, working groups, etc.) seem to have all benefited from their engagement and I'm sure they've made better overall business decisions based on the contacts, information and insight they've gained from their active participation in the organisation. The industry still has a way to go to live up to expectations around growth, scale and inherent profitability; however, organisations like PIF are essential catalysts to helping make the prepaid segment a success in the global payments industry."
 

Kelley C Knutson, Executive Vice President, TSYS International

"In this age of increased technology, it is inevitable that the world of vouchers, cards and prepaid solutions will evolve. Our customers are also changing the way they want to do business with us, guided in part by how their customers want to receive their rewards. It's vital that the industry is kept up to speed on what's happening in the prepaid arena, both in Europe and internationally. PIF will lead the way in educating and informing us all. Support, knowledge and experience from the all relevant prepaid sectors will go a long way in helping us shape the future together of prepaid solutions."

Yvonne West, Business Direct, Sainsbury’s and PIF Director

“As a member of the inaugural meeting, I am delighted to see how PIF has grown into this rapidly growing market, PIF has a paramount part to play in continuing to offer such exciting, provocative and really inspirational working groups to the many people who have already gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise”.
