Unlike regular credit cards, you cannot incur any
debt from overspending nor do you need to worry about credit card
payments which carry high interest charges. The available spend
value on the card comes from funds pre-loaded into the prepaid
card account by the cardholder, employer, government agency, insurance
company etc. and is then recognized immediately on the card for
spend and reconciliation purposes, at which point our "FREEDOM"
card becomes available for use virtually anywhere in the world.
This makes the Aquiline "FREEDOM" card
a remarkable tool and great alternative to carrying a checkbook
or cash, and can also be viewed as a "problem-solving" instrument
in certain instances where money management becomes necessary,
such as providing kids in college with much needed funds without
the worry of them building credit card debt. This is accomplished
easily by having additional cards issued on the same account which
is controlled by the account holder, typically the parent.
When used for money remittances, cardholders can send money to
friends and family members in different countries by simply completing
a transfer request which cost a fraction of what it would normally
cost with traditional money transfer services. For long-term usage
and maximum utility, the recipient is issued a similar card tied
to the same account, yet controlled by the account holder, who
then uses the card to access the money sent via ATMs 24/7 or may
use the card for leisure spending such as making online purchases
and bill payments, general retail spending, car rentals, hotel
reservations and much more.
Prepaid Debit Cards
The efficiencies of Aquiline’s "FREEDOM"
card program are also realized through the provision of transparent
and cashless payment processes achieved by streamlining the insurance
claims and government social benefits payment disbursement processes
and for better account reconciliation. Such insurance payments
may include pensions, annuities, long and short-term disability
payments, disaster relief, accident and burial insurance etc. Government
and other social benefits may include pensions, tax refunds, child
support payments, universal health care payments, unemployment
and much more.
In any case, Aquiline’s "FREEDOM" card serves
to curtail the recurring cost associated with furnishing payments
and represents the expansion of choice and convenience in how it
is used to make and receive payments by the insurer and the recipient.

Payroll Cards
The Aquiline "FREEDOM" card is a host-based,
Stored Value Card (SVC) used for the disbursement of payroll payments
–a revolutionary new payment system designed to function flawlessly
in any marketplace. Closely resembling bank debit cards in use
and function, the "FREEDOM" card by Aquiline, can
be issued internationally and is used by employees to access wage
payments credited to a transaction account funded by their employers.
Subsequently, these cardholders can use their "FREEDOM" payroll
cards to purchase whatever is necessary to address their immediate
needs, instead of depositing or cashing a check that may take days
to clear—and is inherently vulnerable to theft and misuse. Once
the prepaid account is funded, the "FREEDOM" card can then be used
by the cardholder to make cash withdrawals at ATM locations or
banks, or make retail purchases at point of sale (POS) locations
all over the world, until the full amount, or stored
value, on the card has been depleted. Additional features of the "FREEDOM" card
allows cardholders to send monies to friends and family members
who hold secondary cards issued on the same account, make online
purchases and bill payments, or pay for other goods and services
that can only be accomplished by use of a regular credit card.
The benefits to organizations are endless, starting with the cost
savings that is realized immediately with the "one-time" card issuance
per employee compared to the repeat check issuance per pay period.
This makes Aquiline’s "FREEDOM" card a very attractive
and streamlined alternative to printing, cutting and mailing checks
to employees and provides additional efficiencies such as account
reconciliation.
In four easy steps, employers can provide their employees with
easy access to their salaries anywhere in the world. These simple
steps can be accomplished as follows:
- Provide us with a list (spreadsheet) of the employees you
elect to be part of the program, with corresponding employee
numbers and disbursement amounts.
- We set up the account with the bank managing the prepaid payroll
accounts.
- We send you the payroll debit cards for distribution
to your employees.
- You transfer the payroll funds into the respective payroll
account held at the financial institution 48
hours prior to the pay period. The funds are then realized on
payday for immediate withdrawal, spend and reconciliation purposes
by your employees
