Unlocking the potential of prepaid card payouts with Runa

Prepaid cards have revolutionized digital payments. From personal finance to employee rewards, their flexibility and global acceptance have transformed how businesses send money and how people access it. Runa helps businesses to leverage the power of prepaid cards, facilitating easy payouts and driving engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty.

Pay people how they want to be paid

The global prepaid card market has been expanding at an impressive rate. According to market reports, the industry is expected to reach over $4 trillion in market size by 2030, driven by  strong demand across consumer and business segments. 

A few key factors are fueling this rise:

• Increased consumer demand for flexibility: 72% of consumers prefer more control over how they redeem their rewards. With prepaid cards, recipients can spend their funds wherever Visa and Mastercard are accepted, both online and in-store. 
• Shift toward digital payments: 75% of reward recipients would rather receive a prepaid card than cash. As digital payments continue to rise globally, prepaid cards have emerged as a reliable solution for unbanked or underbanked populations. 
• Corporate adoption of incentive programs: Offering prepaid cards to employees or customers is a simple, cost-effective way to drive engagement and loyalty while allowing recipients to spend their rewards as they choose.

Powering your payouts program: Why prepaid cards are the solution for cost-effective, global payouts

Prepaid cards offer businesses an efficient, cost-effective way to distribute rewards, saving money through digital delivery with no issuance fees. They provide the flexibility to scale programs for any size and reach recipients globally, making them ideal for diverse, international audiences. For recipients, prepaid cards ensure secure, instant access to rewards, enhancing the experience for both businesses and recipients.

Expanding use cases for prepaid cards

With their vast reach and usability, prepaid cards can be a great fit for a wide range of payout and reward scenarios.  

1. Enhance employee motivation and satisfaction through rewards
   Prepaid cards offer an efficient way to recognize employees' hard work, celebrate milestones, and drive engagement. By giving employees the flexibility to spend their rewards wherever they choose, prepaid cards make recognition programs more meaningful. 
2. Offer loyalty rewards that keep your customers coming back
   For customer loyalty initiatives, prepaid cards offer unmatched versatility. Rather than limiting customers to specific products or discounts, prepaid cards give recipients the freedom to redeem their rewards exactly how they want, delighting them and keeping them close to your program.
3. Reduce complexities for cash-like payouts
   Prepaid cards simplify and accelerate disbursements, making them ideal for contractors, freelancers, and short-term workers. By providing instant access to funds without needing bank account information, prepaid cards streamline disbursements, reduce administrative hassle, and make the payout process smoother and more flexible.

Runa’s prepaid card options empower companies to deliver fast, flexible, and impactful rewards that enhance engagement and satisfaction in today’s competitive market.
