Skrill launches its prepaid card powered by Pomelo in Argentina

Paysafe, the world's leading platform in payments, chose us again to continue expanding in Latin America. After launching their cards in Brazil, it's now Skrill's turn in Argentina, with a prepaid Mastercard powered by Pomelo that is already available to all users of its digital wallet.

This new solution connects users' digital balance with their daily needs, allowing them to shop in physical stores or online merchants across the country. A card that is easy to use, secure, and supported by our world-class infrastructure.

What is the Skrill card powered by Pomelo like?

Paysafe is one of the world's leading payment platforms, with a strong track record of providing solutions to merchants and consumers in the global entertainment sectors. Its main purpose is to allow individuals and businesses to connect and transact smoothly through leading capabilities in payment processing, digital wallets, and online cash solutions.

"Thanks to our alliance, Paysafe launched a prepaid Mastercard in Argentina. This card is available to all Skrill account users in the country, one of the most popular digital wallets, now broadening its offering, facilitating the use of available balance for everyday purchases, both in physical stores and online merchants. With the launch of the Skrill prepaid Mastercard in Argentina, we are giving users the ability to extend the convenience of their digital wallet to their daily lives. Whether they shop online at local merchants or make in-store payments, this new solution provides seamless access to their funds." Bob Legters, Chief Product Officer at Paysafe

Skrill highlighted two key attributes of our infrastructure:

• Robust technology: our cloud-native, secure, and scalable platform meets the challenges of digital wallets like Skrill.
• Enduring and successful alliance: this expansion into Argentina reflects a long-term and mutually trusting relationship that already had its first successful chapter in Brazil.

How do we help them with our next-gen technology?

Leading a project with a digital wallet like Skrill meant working with the highest standards of the global market. Therefore, we developed an end-to-end solution that covers every step of the launch, combining our speed of implementation with a robust and efficient local operation:

• Card issuance with our BIN Sponsorship licenses, streamlining the time to market for the cards and delegating operational management to us.
• Physical distribution: end-to-end management in card distribution with local partners.
• Fraud prevention and monitoring: our technology acts in time to combat fraud attempts and enhances user experience by notifying in real time.
• We homologated a customized chip profile: Skrill required a different profile than we previously used, so we worked with the embosser from our Issuing area to develop and validate a new profile specifically for this project.
• We manage the design, production, and testing of the cards directly in Argentina, facilitating local operations.

"Global companies like Paysafe find the ideal strategic partner in Pomelo to expand in Latin America. Our technological value proposition and our team's experience are key to executing complex projects with agility and precision. Added to this was the strategic vision and execution capacity of Skrill, which enriched every stage of the project and allowed us to advance with focus and efficiency. The result: a successful launch of its card in Argentina" Santiago Witis, Country Manager of Pomelo for Argentina and Chile
