Fintech company Prepaid Financial Services (PFS) has completed the acquisition of the physical prepaid card portfolio of Barclaycard in the UK.

The migration of the acquired Barclays prepaid card portfolio onto PFS platform is also complete.

PFS CEO Noel Moran said: “We had been in discussion with Barclays regarding their physical prepaid cards and looking at opportunities to work together.

“In January, we agreed a deal whereby PFS acquired Barclays’ portfolio and would work with Barclays to migrate clients off the existing prepaid platform and over to PFS.

“We are working hard to achieve a seamless migration for clients of Barclays.”
