Plastyc Powers Online Banking and Payments Services for H&R Block Emerald Prepaid Mastercard(R) and Launches New White-label Service

New York, NY, Jan 15, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Plastyc announced today a new Powered by Plastyc platform to help banks, payroll companies, wireless carriers and other businesses offer their customers full-featured, branded prepaid card services.

Working with H&R Block, the nation's largest tax preparation company, Plastyc powers the company's Emerald Online, the H&R Block Emerald Prepaid Mastercard(R), online interface which enables cardholders to easily perform the following tasks and more: Access transaction history and balance and print statements Sign up for text and email alerts Add prepaid minutes to their cell phone and pay bills Manage cash-back reward offers.

The online services, which launched nationwide in November 2012, also enable H&R Block to engage cardholders with customized offers and messages such as targeted cash back rewards from select retailers or invitations to other financial services such as savings accounts offered by H&R Block.

Plastyc has proven experience providing dynamic online and mobile user experiences and functionality not available elsewhere in the prepaid card industry.

"We want our cardholders to have a best-in-class online banking experience. Plastyc is a leader and innovator. Combining that experience and innovation with Emerald Card creates a world-class program for our clients," said Susan Ehrlich, president of H&R Block financial services.
