TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - April 8, 2014) - SelectCore Ltd. ("SelectCore" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG), Canada's Leading Payments Organization, is pleased to announce that it has signed a 3 year prepaid card agreement with nCrypt Financial Corp. (www.ntrust.com), the secure and trusted global peer-to-peer money transfer platform.
Under the terms of the agreement, SelectCore will provide a private label payment card solution, issuing both physical and virtual prepaid MasterCard cards, known as the nTrust® Cloud Money™ Card.
Available to Canadians this summer, nTrust's Cloud Money™ card works just like a credit card with the added benefit of controlled spending by limiting expenditures to the amount loaded on the Cloud Money™ Card. With no activation, monthly or annual fees and no minimum balance requirements, the Cloud Money card offers flexibility, putting members in control of their money.
nTrust members can manage their money online through their personal nTrust Cloud, sending and receiving money around the world for free, and using the physical Cloud Money™ Card to make cash withdrawals from 1.7 million ATMs worldwide. This unique feature makes the nTrust card ideal for travel, accessing cash sent overseas and online purchases, both locally and internationally.
"We're extremely pleased to partner with SelectCore for our nTrust Cloud Money™ Card to allow our members to seamlessly take their online funds offline," said Rod Hsu, CXO at nTrust. "Not only does our Cloud Money™ card provide an efficient way to unload funds from the nTrust Cloud, it offers autonomy from traditional banking."
"We are equally as excited to be working with nTrust," said Keith McKenzie, President of SelectCore. "This agreement demonstrates our ability to support new verticals for prepaid cards such as global remittance."
