Recent acquisition and integration activity has given Contis total end-to-end ownership of all implementation and programme management processes required to effectively launch and operate a prepaid card initiative: BIN sponsorship, card issuance, payment processing and administration management. The result is a seamless service offering for clients, which delivers cost efficiencies, greater agility in programme development, a much faster time to market and simplicity of management; all services will be delivered in-house though a single customer point of contact.

To help drive Contis forward with this new end-to-end offering, ensure quality service levels and drive sales globally, the company has made two key appointments to its leadership team. Eduardo Benito joins as Head of Client Delivery and Byron Lawton joins as Marketing Manager. Both have extensive experience in the financial services sector.

Mike Fromant, Group Managing Director at Contis, comments: "Recent expansion activity has consolidated our position in the global marketplace as a leading end-to-end provider of prepaid payments solutions. By controlling all operations within the prepaid value chain, we eliminate the risks and challenges associated with third party outsourcing and can ensure that we deliver a consistent standard of excellence for our clients across all areas of the business. We are also able to react rapidly to emerging market and customer requirements, thereby providing total support for clients wishing to bring out smarter prepaid solutions, quicker than ever before."
