It offers consumers one wallet and one way to pay, making payments simple, seamless and secure so users can pay with their wallet on the high street and online.
“From today consumers in Austria can enjoy the benefits of the best prepaid card on the market with fantastic travel advantages and sophisticated functionality including contactless and text notifications,” said Ed Chandler, CEO of Kalixa Group. “The launch of Kalixa Pay in Austria is a significant step in our ambitious growth plan as we continue to disrupt the global payments market with a range of products that help people to make and accept payments simply, seamlessly and securely. We will be rolling-out Kalixa Pay to new markets very soon as part of our on-going effort to push the boundaries of payments in Europe. Exciting times ahead!” concluded Chandler.
