TransCard has signed a licensing agreement with Pan Am Brands, a division of Pan American World Airways, Inc. for Pan Am branded prepaid travel cards. Pan American World Airways was the principal and largest international air carrier in the United States between 1927 and 1991 and became a cultural icon of the 20th century. It is this world famous Pan Am name and logo that will be used to create a unique Traveler Prepaid Card offering to TransCard’s network of nearly 300 financial institutions.
“We are excited to work with one of the most iconic brands in history,” stated Craig Fuller, CEO of TransCard. “Pan Am stands for luxury and prestige- the same qualities we are building in our travel card offering.”
The Pan Am Traveler Prepaid Card is a safe and convenient alternative to cash, credit, and debit when traveling. This prepaid card will support EMV Protection, a worldwide fraud prevention technology that reduces cardholder inconvenience abroad while making mobile and contactless payments more secure. Along with EMV Protection, the Pan Am Traveler Prepaid Card will include unique features such as Trip Protection Plus. Some of these features include comprehensive trip cancellation, 24-hour travel assistance, and concierge service. Trip Protection Plus is a great companion for your vacation with no surprise processing fees.
Financial institution customers can move money for their travels onto the Pan Am Traveler Prepaid Card and leave their debit and credit cards at home. Getting a Pan Am Traveler Prepaid Card is easy for your cardholders. No credit check or bank account information is required.
“The introduction of the Pan Am Travel Card by TransCard is an exciting opportunity. Pan Am made the world a smaller place and TransCard’s Pan Am card will add security and safety to today’s jet-setting adventures,” says Stacy Beck, Vice President of Brands and Licensing for Pan American World Airways, Inc.
