Banking on Prepaid Cards
Workshop Leader: David Cavell, Author, The Prepaid Card Phenomenon

Rationale

Going forward, issuers of prepaid cards in the GCC should focus on the needs of consumer groups that are presently unmet. Prepaid cards better suit the needs of the corporate and government sectors than the traditional corporate credit card. Given that the GCC holds some of the most business focused cities in the world, corporate prepaid cards carry huge potential.
