For some, prepaid cards beat checking accounts Our typical markets – the security-minded, unbanked, underserved and youth—depend on new payment methods to help build credit, control spending and mitigate fraud and credit card risk. An Aite Group report shows 50 percent of prepaid card users believe prepaid cards work better than checking accounts do. The checking-free prepaid approach – with general-purpose reloadable cards – works well for those with simpler financial needs, such as the college-age market.

Because prepaid cards are a non-credit payment type, they are useful in helping users control their budget without the risk of running up debt; and with a prepaid card, there is no "maxing out" one's credit and no risk of overdraft fees. However, not all are college-age. The Aite Group found 33 percent of prepaid users have incomes above $45,000, and 15 percent earned more than $70,000; this market segment is growing and InComm’s products and innovations keep pace with it.

Today, we’re happy to announce that we will be accepting Bitcoin donations through our website. You can use them to make one-time donations, set up monthly donations or get an EFF membership (which includes awesome membership swag like EFF hats and digital freedom t-shirts). While we are accepting Bitcoin donations, EFF is not endorsing Bitcoin.

EFF does not typically endorse products or services, and we certainly do not endorse any of the electronic payment methods that we currently accept (credit cards, PayPal, and now BitPay). With respect to Bitcoin as a technology, there is clearly a lot more to be said. Along the way, we want to give our supporters as much flexibility as possible in making donations to EFF. How We Got Here Two years ago, EFF decided to stop taking Bitcoins for a number of reasons and returned the coins to the community via the Bitcoin faucet and promised to investigate further.

Here were some of the factors we considered when making this decision: With PayPal-Like Ambitions For Bitcoin, BitPay Raises $2M Led By Founders Fund. BitPay, the startup with ambitions to become the PayPal of the bitcoin world, is today announcing that it has raised another $2 million. And in a kind of poetic justice, the round is led by none other than the Founders Fund, the VC started by what’s commonly called the PayPal Mafia. The Atlanta-based startup says that it was not planning to raise any money at the moment — it announced an initial raise of $510,000 only in January. That was its first outside funding after being bootstrapped internally. However, the company also says that it couldn’t say no, considering who was asking: “We were not looking to raise any capital until later this year, but we could not ignore the opportunity to have Founders Fund involved with BitPay,” Tony Gallippi, co-founder and CEO of BitPay, notes in a news release on the deal.

“There’s no single investment firm we would rather have on our team right now than Founders Fund.” RTBTC. Bitcoinx. Purchase Bitcoins with USD, Cumming, GA 30040, United States. CampBX.
