Blackhawk Engagement Solutions improves global incentives with international currencies
- hyperWALLET's Paylution Euro Prepaid Card and Paylution GBP Prepaid Card products allow businesses to reward recipients around the world in a wide selection of currencies and languages
LEWISVILLE, Texas, Feb. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackhawk Engagement Solutions, an international incentives and engagement company, today expanded and improved its international incentive offerings with the launch of hyperWALLET's Paylution Euro Prepaid Card and Paylution GBP Prepaid Card. Overseas reward earners can now receive their awards in euros or British pound sterling, which means in-country currency in more than 43 countries, including the U.K., France, Spain, Italy and Germany.
Previous international incentive products allowed businesses to deliver rewards across the globe, but in U.S. dollar or Canadian dollar options. This meant a portion of the reward would be lost to currency conversion fees when used in other countries. The Paylution Euro and GBP Cards, offered through Blackhawk Engagement Solutions and developed and program managed by hyperWALLET, allow more reward earners around the world to receive the full value of their awards.
"As companies continue to expand across the globe, their incentive programs will need the same reach," said Sheree Thornsberry, GVP of Global Channel and Employee Solutions with Blackhawk Engagement Solutions. "The Paylution Euro and GBP Cards provide a seamless reward experience in the currencies, languages and denominations today's global organizations demand."
This launch demonstrates Blackhawk Engagement Solutions' capabilities as an international, integrated incentive solutions leader. Paylution Euro and GBP Card cardholder support materials are available in eight languages and the cardholder website is available in 19, including Chinese, Japanese, Greek and Russian. The single-load cards include EMV technology for enhanced security, come in flexible denominations and provide ATM access and personalization.
The Paylution Euro and GBP Cards are delivered with industry-leading expertise that Blackhawk Engagement Solutions promises: efficient fulfillment shipped directly to reward earners, a proven commitment to client service excellence, 24/7 lost or stolen customer service coverage and more.
Prepaid cards are the reward of choice around the world because they allow recipients to spend the money as they'd like. Additionally, businesses enjoy the incentives because they offer a pleasing award solution for diverse, global audiences.
