CashStar Wins PX Payments Award for Best Prepaid InnovationCashStar, the industry-leading provider in prepaid commerce solutions, today announced that it has won the 2016 PX Payments Award for the Best Prepaid or Payments Innovation. CashStar was recognized for its innovative regifting capabilities, which are available as part of the CashStar Commerce platform. "It is an honor to be recognized for our continued innovation in prepaid commerce," said Ben Kaplan, president and CEO of CashStar. "These regifting capabilities increase the benefit and value of digital gift cards for merchants, loyalty programs and consumers. We are fortunate to launch these capabilities with Maritz, a market leader in loyalty and incentives that continually embraces innovation in its programs for its clients." The regifting solution allows gift card recipients to easily forward digital gift cards to family and friends with a personalized message, resulting in an enhanced gifting experience while ensuring the integrity and security of the digital card. This drives redemption for retailers by ensuring the gift card value is in the most appropriate hands to increase sales and lift. The regifting capabilities can be utilized across the CashStar commerce platform including B2C and B2B solutions for merchants and distribution partners. Maritz Motivation Solutions, a leader in designing employee recognition, consumer loyalty, global rewards and sales force incentive programs, initially rolled out CashStar's regifting capabilities with its client Amway Canada, a direct selling business for beauty, health and home care products. Regifting has helped Maritz and Amway Canada drive down costs associated with returns. The PX Payments Awards are presented by Payments eXchange, which is focused on helping drive adoption of prepaid- and payments-related services.
