Alpesh Patel, CEO at Vincento Payment Solutions, said:
“Average interest rates on credit cards are now in excess of 18%. Prepaid MasterCards are not credit cards - as you can only spend what you load on to the card – but they can provide a useful, economical alternative to racking up credit card debts at a high rate of interest. That’s why we’re cutting the Kalixa Card fee – to try and help people to make the right decisions when it comes to using plastic.”
