Optimal Payments, a provider of online payments in the UK, plans to issue prepaid cards, including its own Net+ MasterCard prepaid card (view press release). As the direct issuer of its own prepaid card, the company claims it will be able to extend the Net+ programme further and actively pursue additional commercial opportunities.

“We are excited to announce this move,” said Danny Chazonoff, COO of Optimal Payments. “We believe it further enhances our sound reputation as we continue to extend our solutions to merchants and consumers built around our innovative proprietary technology platform.”
