PaymentsSource: Not All Prefer Open-Loop Prepaid, Better ATM Sees in Gift Card Test

Posted by | In the News | No Comments

Better ATM Services offers open-loop Visa prepaid cards through ATMs, but such one-size-fits-all cards don’t appeal to all consumers. To appeal to shoppers who prefer closed-loop gift cards, Better ATM is testing cards that work at nine merchants.

The myGift Discover-branded card is undergoing trials this quarter at Banner Federal Credit Union machines at 11 locations in Arizona and should become widely available in the first quarter of next year, says Todd Nuttall, Better ATM’s chief executive.

“You have a massive prepaid-type gift card market,” he says. “We know that half the people go for open-loop and half the people like to have particular brands.”

Consumers can redeem the cards in the test at Macy’s, Lowe’s, Express, Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion Cuisine, Fleming’s and Cabela’s.

“A lot of people really do like a combination of key brands,” Nuttall says.

The card differs from the Visa-branded open-loop gift card that Mesa, Ariz.-based Better ATM introduced about a year ago. The earlier card was good anywhere Visa is accepted, unlike the myGift card which is redeemable only at certain stores. Read More
