New App Cashes Out Prepaid Cards from Visa, MasterCard, AMEX and Discover with a Simple Scan
The new Prepaid2Cash app enables consumers who have encountered restrictions, are concerned about excessive fees or expiration dates, or simply want to reduce wallet clutter, to safely and securely redeem their prepaid cards for cash
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Prepaid2Cash, a service which easily, conveniently, and securely converts network-branded (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, Discover) prepaid cards into cash, today announced the availability of both its iOS and Android apps. After initial set up, the Prepaid2Cash app allows users to simply scan their prepaid card and promptly receive payment via direct deposit, usually within three business days. Prepaid2Cash is the first company and only app available today that offers a cash withdrawal for the prepaid gift cards that bear the logo from the big four network-branded payment networks.

Prepaid gift cards have become increasingly popular as an alternative to cash and are often used for employee incentives, customer rebate programs, or gifting. While the extra income is always welcome, cards can get lost or forgotten, and are often saddled with usage-based restrictions or have diminishing values and fees, making it challenging for consumers to receive the full face value of the card. The obstacles are so great, in fact, that according to a recent study, over $300 billion dollars in cards are issued every year and anywhere from 25-50 percent of them go unused, leaving $75-150 billion dollars of value on the table for consumers to recoup.
"Unrestricted cash is the most desirable to consumers," says Peter Vogt, Co-Founder of Prepaid2Cash. "As a financial executive and consumer myself, I experienced firsthand the challenges when trying to use my prepaid gift cards. Prepaid2Cash has applied technology to a widespread problem, and provides consumers with an option that enables them to unlock cash from their prepaid cards and have the freedom to pay for things like car payments, travel, rent, or perhaps simply put the money to work for them in savings."
