Why not try Plastyc? What is Plastyc? Plastyc delivers good banking to all by providing 24×7 access to FDIC-insured accounts through any Internet-connected computer or cell phone.
Unlike traditional checking accounts, Plastyc’s iBankUP portal and UPside cards never incur overdrafts, and they offer better services at lower prices, with more ways to receive money and no risk of over-spending it. Plastyc’s principals and directors have a track record as financial services innovators at companies including Gemalto, Oberthur, Signio (now part of PayPal, an eBay company), ClairMail, Lending Club, and Genetic Finance.
Plastyc may have cracked the code when it comes to helping people on tight budgets put more money into savings. CEO Patrice Peyret will preview the new savings solution, which works with the company’s UPside Visa prepaid cards and iBankUP accounts, at FinovateFall 2011 September 20 in at Pier 92 in New York.
In his demo, Peyret will show how the new solution helps reduce barriers by building automated savings into prepaid card accounts. This is especially useful for people who either can’t qualify for or don’t want the overhead of a traditional bank account.
With the help of Doorways to Dreams (D2D) Fund (http://www.d2dfund.org), a national non-profit , Plastyc is designing its savings solution .
“A savings feature on a prepaid card provides easy access to savings for many unbanked and under banked consumers and, with the right design features, can help consumers build savings to address both short and long-term needs,” said Tim Flacke, Executive Director of D2D.
