Cachet Financial Solutions Integrates with Apple Pay

CachetLogo.jpg

With Apple’s recent record-breaking earnings report, there’s been no shortage of Apple-talk lately, and today is no different.

Earlier this week, Cachet Financial Solutions announced its Select Mobile Money platform now integrates with Apple Pay.

Cachet’s prepaid card clients can enable customers to make purchases using Apple Pay at the physical point-of-sale (POS).

CachetTxnHistory.jpg

How it works:

iPhone 6 and 6 Plus users open their white-labeled Select Mobile Money app and click on the Apple Pay icon. Their prepaid card is automatically placed top-of-wallet in Passbook, ready to pay.

After payment, the Select Mobile Money app shows the user’s updated balance and transaction details (see image on right).

President and CEO of Cachet, Jeffrey Mack, likes the improved user experience and, states, “we expect this unique feature to attract new prepaid users to our clients, as well as bring new banks, credit unions and AFS providers to Cachet.”

The Apple Pay update is available now to its clients as an upgrade.

Cachet Financial demonstrated its Select Mobile Money app at FinovateFall 2014 in New York.

Cachet Financial Launches Co-Branded Option for Select Mobile Money Solution

CachetLogo.jpg

Mobile money technology company, Cachet Financial, is launching a co-branded option for its Select Mobile Money product, a reloadable debit card with a suite of smartphone-accessible account services.

Maryland-based Frederick County Bank is piloting the co-branded version of Select Mobile Money. The institution holds $330 million in assets and is in 5 locations.

The new option is an express version, which means banks receive a pre-configured set up of the prepaid card program, mobile app and cloud services. Additionally, Cachet handles card issuance, processing, and management. This hands-off approach not only lowers overhead costs, but also decreases time-to-market.

Select Mobile Money is aimed at prepaid customers, a typically underserved market. It is available for payroll, travel, student, and unlimited use programs.

Cachet reports that more than 300 financial institutions use its remote deposit capture technology, and it is hoping to tap into that base to increase adoption of the co-branded Select Mobile Money solution.

Cachet Financial Solutions demonstrated Select Mobile Money at FinovateFall 2014.
