Plastyc, creator of the UPside Visa prepaid card, announced yesterday that it is using GreenDot’s Swipe&Load technology to enable UPside cardholders to load cash onto their cards at 7-Eleven stores:
“Swipe&Load technology makes it faster and easier for people to add cash to their reloadable cards. Now cardholders can visit any 7-Eleven store in the U.S and hand their UPside Visa card and cash to the cashier. The cashier swipes the card and the money is added to the card on the spot.”
The Swipe&Load service costs users under $5 and will be available at over 6,500 7-Eleven store across the U.S.
