Revel Prepaid MasterCard® from Fishback Financial to Appear on Norman Schwarzkopf's World Business Review TV Series
Brookings, SD (PRWeb) February 5, 2007 -- Multi-Media Productions (USA), Inc. announces the appearance of the Revel Card from Fishback Financial of Brookings, South Dakota on World Business Review hosted by General Norman Schwarzkopf.
Banks have historically had a difficult time connecting with the growing number of underbanked consumers, including our men and women in uniform. The Revel Card is establishing this once elusive connection with their exciting Bank on a Card concept. The Revel program features:
1. The Revel Prepaid MasterCard®, which includes online account access and a variety of supporting account services, including online bill payment;
2. Revel Advance, an affordable small dollar loan alternative;
3. Revel Save, a linked savings account; and
4. Revel SpendTrend, a free online budget and spend tracking feature (coming soon).
"The research is conclusive; the underbanked marketplace is economically viable but for a number of reasons it has yet to benefit from the full array of affordable banking products and services. Thus far, mainstream financial service companies have been unable to fully tap this expanding market because they've been reluctant to meet the customer on their terms or embrace the delivery channels that connect with the underbanked consumer. We have no such inhibition, and we plan to aggressively pursue it with the Revel Card's exciting, fresh brand image," Trent Sorbe, President of Fishback Financial's national products group and developer of the Revel Card.
Coordinating producer Kathryn Emerson added, "When researching the latest developments in banking and payment solutions, the Revel Card came up as being in touch with the most current advancements in this area. They were a natural to appear on this edition of World Business Review." The Revel Card will be featured on WBR on February 6, 2007 on Bravo! Network and February 7, 2007 on CNBC (as paid programming).
