Q2 at Runa was all about accelerating your success. We've rolled out a suite of powerful enhancements, strategic optimizations, and game-changing new launches - designed to transform your payouts from a cost center into a growth driver. Every update, every new feature, and every expansion is built with one goal in mind: to empower your business with greater control, enhanced security, and the flexibility needed to grow.
Tokenized Pay to Card: Seamless repeat payouts
We now support repeat payouts without requiring recipients to re-enter details. If someone has received a payout before, they’ll simply get a confirmation email the next time - no additional steps required. (Note: Applies to API orders only.)
Speak to your Account Manager to get started.
Reloadable prepaid cards: Send once, fund any time
Runa customers can now send virtual Visa or Mastercard prepaid cards that can be reloaded repeatedly - ideal for recurring payments to ongoing incentives, loyalty rewards, or programs that reward repeat engagement.
These cards are virtual and easy to distribute, reloadable by the sender and fast to fund - top ups land in under 30 minutes making them much faster and easier than other money movement solutions.
Reloadable cards are sent just like any other payout on the Runa Network via API or Portal. Once issued, the card is tokenized, meaning any future funds can be added instantly without sending a new link or requiring any action from the recipient. It’s a faster, more flexible way to deliver value - again and again.

Expanded merchant network: Even more choice for recipients
In Q2, we added 100+ new merchants across key categories including:
These additions give your recipients more local relevance and better reasons to redeem, no matter where they are in the world.

Building for recipient flexibility: Paving the way for your growth
At Runa, we don't guess what your users want; we prove it. This quarter, we've laid the groundwork for a truly recipient-first payout experience, driven by a clear insight: 80% of recipients demand more flexibility in how they access or use their payouts.
Why does this matter to you? Because a superior recipient experience directly translates to better business outcomes: higher engagement, stronger loyalty, and longer retention for your programs. We're committed to building the infrastructure that delivers this essential flexibility and choice, empowering your users and boosting your results.
