Ticon recently won a 2009 Global Business Excellence Award for Outstanding Prepaid Programme Manager in the public sector. We are currently working with more than 35 councils to help them implement prepaid cards. Our prepaid support services can help councils deliver programmes that are cost effective and beneficial to the citizen. The chair of judges commented: “Ticon UK are leading the way with regard to prepaid programmes across the public sector.”
The UK Border Agency has announced that they will be using prepaid cards for Section 4 payments to asylum seekers. These payments are for failed asylum seekers who are awaiting deportation. Prepaid cards will replace an existing voucher system which is administered through Councils and other partners alongside UKBA's payments supplier Sodexo. A regional pilot scheme is expected to go live this summer, with a nationwide roll-out to follow.
Ticon have recently implemented a prepaid programme at the London Borough of Lewisham. Working with Visa and Citi, our case study shows how prepaid cards can replace cash payments for care leavers.
