Novum Bank Limited "Cards & Stored Value" offers tailor made card programs aimed at increasing revenues and retaining customers.
Summary: Card based payments at points of sale are increasing. Even today the classical retail channel processes almost EUR 2,000 billion annually in card payments in Europe. Novum Bank Limited can support retailers in capitalizing this growth by offering white labelled prepaid card programs.
Payments are increasingly done with credit, debit and prepaid cards. Therefore, it is becoming more important for retailers to have a proper payment strategy in place. Novum Bank Limited’s "Cards & Stored Value" business offers specific retail solutions for open, restricted, and closed loop card programs, all structured under a banking license.

The card solutions of Novum Bank Limited enable business customers and partners to expand their business quickly, address potential customers and increase brand awareness, e.g. via "white label" solutions with own card designs, functionalities and websites.
Novum Bank Limited consistently relies on state of the art technology: products can be structured with PayPass NFC technology, cash top-up systems, and remote access capabilities for consumers and employees.
As a principal member of the MasterCard® organisation, Novum Bank Limited is an issuer of MasterCard and Maestro Prepaid Card, in addition to its own eMoney based vouchers and gift cards.

The CEO of Novum Bank Limited "Cards & Stored Value”, Pascal Beij, emphasises the growth opportunities for the industry: "Even today almost EUR 2,000 billion and therefore more than a third of point of sale revenue in Europe is done via card based payments.

With our 'Cards & Stored Value' solutions we offer companies, retailers, but also other banks, state of the art card programs to increase revenues and drive customer retention."
