DUBLIN, June 23, 2009 - RêvEurope, a member of the Rêv Worldwide global network of payments companies for underserved markets, today announced that Cards International has recognized the company for outstanding innovation in the global cards and payments industries, naming it “Most Promising New Entrant.”
The Cards International Global Awards 2009 recognize leaders and innovators in the global cards and payments industry across 10 categories covering a range of areas, including awards for best new credit, debit and prepaid card product launches, best innovation in a loyalty program and best commercial card issuer.
Victoria Conroy, Editor of Cards International, comments: “Much has changed in the financial world since last year’s awards, with the global economic slump fundamentally altering the payment landscape. This year’s event acknowledged some of the outstanding innovations that are helping payment players to recruit and retain customers in an uncertain economic climate.”
A panel of judges selected the winners from among those organizations nominated by readers and included the editorial team from Cards International, VRL Financial News and an external panel of recognized international industry consultants.
"To be recognized by a panel of experts who uniquely understand the challenges and opportunities in our industry is a considerable honor for RêvEurope," said John Mitchell, CEO, RêvEurope. "We have the right team and the right solution, but what’s really promising is the opportunity to deliver financial services to the markets where they’re needed most."
