Paybefore Unveils European Awards Winners
Today Paybefore announced the winners in its fourth annual Paybefore Awards Europe competition, honoring the best programs and companies operating in prepaid and emerging payments across Europe. Winners represent companies entering the European market from the U.S., Asia and South Africa; increasingly prominent players from Germany and Gibraltar; as well as prepaid pioneers from Italy and the U.K.
“Paybefore Awards Europe recognizes the companies pushing the industry forward with innovative solutions that improve the cardholder and client experience,” said Loraine DeBonis, Paybefore editor-in-chief and chair of the judging panel.
Winners were selected by a panel of five industry experts, including DeBonis and Paybefore CEO Marilyn Bochicchio; David Parker, director, Polymath Consulting; Brian Dunne, managing director, SVM Europe and president of IMA Europe; and Peter Howitt, Ramparts founder and secretary of the Gibraltar E-Money Association.
“The power of payments is transformative, and our Paybefore Awards Europe winners are at the forefront of that transformation,” added Marilyn Bochicchio, Paybefore’s CEO. “These innovative businesses have created options and opportunities for millions of consumers—to pay, to exchange value and to be paid.”
Today’s winners now compete for the Best-in-Category distinction, which will be announced during a presentation at the All Payments Expo Europe in Marbella, Spain, on 18-20 May 2015.
