CashStar Chief Risk Officer Pete Kledaras will be joined by David Libenson, vice president of financial operations at Aéropostale, and Jim Shanahan, CEO of Prepaidian.

What: Think You Know Prepaid? Think Digital, Think Mobile


The fastest growing trend in prepaid cards is their transition from physical cards to digital and mobile currencies and marketing them for omni-channel use. Industry data shows the under-banked, teens and, increasingly, affluent consumers who don't want the security risks associated with using a credit card, began using both open- and closed-loop prepaid cards online and on-the-go via smartphones in a big way this past holiday season. Panelists will explore how prepaid cards are becoming a force in the CNP space, how online merchants can cater to new markets by more effectively promoting their use, and how to manage the unique risk cases.

When: Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 10:00-10:45 a.m.

Where: Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate, Orlando, Florida
