A prepaid card is a payment card, which allows users to make purchases with the preloaded amount stored in it. This prepaid amount then dictates the spending capacity of the card, such as debit or credit cards, but restricted by the loaded balance. Thus, prepaid cards are frequently used as budgeting tools, which enable people to better manage their finances and avoid overspending. Prepaid transactions have transitioned from simple paper vouchers to multi-purpose prepaid cards. This trend is expected to continue during the forthcoming years, owing to liquidity issues. Prepaid cards are commonly accepted worldwide as they are issued by major payment networks such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, thus serving as a suitable option while travelling and international transactions. In addition, the growth of the global prepaid card market is majorly driven by increase in unbanked and underbanked people seeking accessible financial solutions outside traditional banks. In addition, prepaid cards provide these people with a safe and simple means to manage their funds, conduct transactions, and participate in the economy without the requirement for a formal bank account. Furthermore, rise in demand for cash alternatives and availability of affordable and eco-friendly prepaid cards foster the growth of the market. In addition, multipurpose prepaid cards are gaining high traction among consumers who do not have access to other forms of electronic payments such as debit or credit cards, which acts as a key driving force of the global market. However, mobile payments have hampered the expansion of the prepaid card business by giving a digital alternative for purchases. Furthermore, increase in penetration of digital payment technologies is lowering the necessity for prepaid cards.
This competition is expected to hamper the demand for prepaid cards, particularly among tech-savvy customers who use mobile payment alternatives. Moreover, security issues and privacy concerns hamper the growth of the prepaid card market. On the contrary, surge in demand for prepaid cards from various developing countries is expected to offer lucrative opportunities for prepaid card driven by reasons such as inadequate banking infrastructure, increased digital use, and the need for accessible and secure financial services.
