Hawk Incentives, a Blackhawk Network business that provides rewards and incentive solutions, has unveiled a new open-loop Mastercard prepaid card that can be added to major mobile wallets.
The incentive trade group has named a new president and board members for 2017-2018.
The Incentive Marketing Association (IMA) honored industry leader Brian Dunne, CPIM, managing director, Giftcard Consulting, with the Karen Renk Fellowship Award, which the trade group presented at its annual IMA Summit last week.
Blackhawk Network has given its incentives business a new identity, renaming it Hawk Incentives, which includes products and services formerly part of Blackhawk Engagement Solutions and the prepaid and payments company’s B2B digital incentive teams, according to a March 28 announcement.
Payments pundits for years have been saying consumers need incentives to use mobile wallets, and a new survey report from Auriemma Consulting Group has numbers to back up the claim.
