Prepaid Cards for Sharing Money: A Look at TransCash, Corp.

Transcash Debit CardsPrepaid debit cards and debit card platforms provide a great foundation for companies to build payment systems that solve different consumer problems. Today, we take a look at how a Southern California Company, TransCash Corp., is using prepaid debit cards to meet the needs of consumers who need a convenient and inexpensive way to share funds with family members or other cardholders.

Although TransCash has been in operation since 2002, they have only recently launched their TransCash cards designed to make it easy for cardholders to share money with remote family members or other cardholders.

The TransCash Prepaid Cards

The TransCash product is a set of two prepaid Visa debit cards, conveying all rights and privileges to load money and enjoy purchasing goods and services everywhere Visa is accepted worldwide. It also provides the easiest and least expensive way to transfer funds to loved ones around the world.

The TransCash cards come in packages of two cards: one black card and one red card. The customer who will be loading money onto the cards keeps the black card and simply gives the red card to the person they wish to share money with. The person can be located anywhere in the world. The customer with the black card can then transfer money online or over the phone and the funds are immediately available to the holder of the red card. Best of all, this service is free and the cards are usable anywhere in the world where Visa is accepted.
