Contactless Prepaid Accounts
Providing you and your customers with convenient ways to pay; driving loyalty, footfall & profitability for your business.
ZAPA Prepaid can replace traditional card based prepaid systems using the new mobile based contactless ZAPATAG. As we move towards a cashless society, ZAPA Prepaid Solutions can be utilised as an alternative to cash payments in large corporations, schools, universities or hospitals (e.g. staff canteens). ZAPA Prepaid can even be used as a cashless payment method for transport, cultural events, exhibitions, festivals and sports venues amongst others.

The ZAPA Prepaid Solution can be delivered in a number of ways depending upon your business requirement. Prepaid value can be offered through a traditional card-based solution or via the innovative contactless ZAPATAG.
Prepaid payments can be facilitated via an Open Loop or Closed Loop system.
'Open Loop' prepaid cards, offered in partnership with MasterCard, can be used anywhere the MasterCard logo is displayed.
'Closed Loop' prepaid card schemes are developed to suit one site or a closed network of sites and can only be utilised within that group.
