The EzXchange program was developed to help individuals in communities that are “underserved” and who may lack any banking relationships, (the “unbanked”). According to an analysis by VISA U.S.A., nearly 36 million households in the US are underserved in terms of receiving or being able to access traditional financial services. Many of these households lack a bank account and most do not own a credit or debit card. EzXchange also helps cities and counties reduce costs of delivering services and generating revenues. By providing broadband access, these communities also help bridge the “digital divide” by bringing broadband internet access to those who do not have access to power of the internet today.

Prepaid Cards are rapidly becoming an easy, convenient and safe electronic payment option for unbanked workers and other important consumer groups that have traditionally been excluded from access to electronic payment products. Prepaid cards encourage financial responsibility while providing all the convenience of traditional credit and debit cards, such as the ability to purchase products Text Box: Governments
