Paybefore Awards is the most prestigious international event honoring the best in the worldwide prepaid community. This year we’re celebrating six years of Paybefore Awards, and we’re shaking things up. For the first time, we’ve divided our expanded 20 categories into two key areas: Recognition of Excellence in Prepaid Vertical Markets and Recognition of Excellence in Strategy, Technology and Innovation. The goal is to ensure we are honoring the most outstanding programs in 11 vertical markets as well as recognizing achievements in areas that aren’t clearly defined by vertical alone, including marketing, design, mobile applications and more. We’ve also added categories to reflect our changing industry, such as Best Prepaid Gaming Card, Best Digital Currency and Breakout Prepaid Company of the Year. And once again, we will be honoring the individual(s) who have contributed most to prepaid this year or over many years with Paybefore’s highest individual honor—Industry Achievement Award—which will be selected by an august group of past winners. 

Winners will be announced in Paybefore Update and on Paybefore.com, and recognized publicly at Prepaid Expo USA, Tuesday March 13 at 5.15pm.
