Wirecard, an international group of companies with a focus on payment processing and card issuing, has officially acquired Citi Prepaid Card Services, expanding its global presence in payment processing into the North American market.
According to Finextra, the company first announced its intention to buy Citi Prepaid Card Services in June 2016. Citi Prepaid has issued more than 2,500 card programs for customers that include leading telecommunication service providers, pharmaceutical companies, global IT and electronics manufacturers, internet and consumer goods corporations and public sector clients.
“We are excited to offer our American customers the latest products in the area of completely digitalized prepaid cards and mobile payment solutions via our global platform,” said Susanne Steidl, managing director of Wirecard Acquiring & Issuing GmbH.
This acquisition also allows Wirecard to expand its features so that corporate customers can benefit from services such as digital card solutions, which can be loaded in real time. The Citi Prepaid portfolio is mostly made up of incentive and compensation cards, as well as corporate payout programs for salaries or travel.
“In addition to introducing the latest technologies from the digitalized card sector, we will also be launching the global PSP acquiring and omnichannel solutions from Wirecard onto the American market,” said Deirdre Ives, managing director of Citi, who will continue to manage the business with Steidl.

Sometimes our e-mails end up in spam. Make sure to check your spam folder for e-mails from The Payments Association
Most modern e-mail clients now separate e-mails into different tabs. For example, Outlook has an “Other” tab, and Gmail has tabs for different types of e-mails, such as promotional.
For security reasons the link will expire after 60 minutes. Try submitting the login form again and wait a few seconds for the e-mail to arrive.
The link will only work one time – once it’s been clicked, the link won’t log you in again. Instead, you’ll need to go back to the login screen and generate a new link.
Make sure you’re clicking the link on the most recent e-mail that’s been sent to you. We recommend deleting the e-mail once you’ve clicked the link.
Some security systems will automatically click on links in e-mails to check for phishing, malware, viruses and other malicious threats. If these have been clicked, it won’t work when you try to click on the link.
