Plastyc, Inc. Joins Green Dot Network

Partnership Allows UPside Cardholders To Do Cash Reloads at Green Dot Locations

Plastyc Inc. and the Green Dot® Corporation have entered into an agreement allowing UPside Visa® Prepaid Card holders to load cash into their cards by purchasing a MoneyPak® from tens of thousands of Green Dot retailers.

UPside cards can already receive money from friends and family via bank transfers, salaries through direct deposits, and contributions from online marketplaces via direct-to-card mass-pay distribution. Teenagers can receive funds from a parent’s credit card or checking account. Buying a MoneyPak with cash from retailers such as Wal-Mart, Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid, Kmart, Kroger or Radio Shack, now gives holders of UPside Visa prepaid cards the largest choice of funding sources available today.

“Our audience of debt-wary college students is keen to get money from as many sources as possible”, says Patrice Peyret, CEO of Plastyc. “Cash is a dominant form of money for them. Allowing them to load cash to their UPside cards is tremendous, as it increases their ability to shop online for bargains, pay bills, and gives them more control and safety for their everyday expenditures. The Green Dot Network is perfect for students, young working adults and teenagers, with a huge choice of safe and reputable stores.

“Cash loading is increasingly becoming essential for a wide range of prepaid card categories, beyond general purpose reloadable products, as most cardholders value the convenience, speed and flexibility of adding funds at their local retailer,” said Secil Baysal, VP, Green Dot Network. “We are excited to have Plastyc, Inc. join our network and offer the benefits of cash loading to the UPside VISA cardholders.”
