TransCard Adds PULSE to Mix

TransCard Extending Their Cardholders’ Reach with PULSE Network

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--TransCard (www.transcard.com)—a leading provider of prepaid debit card solutions branded with MasterCard®, Discover® Network and STAR associations—has launched the PULSE network, providing all cardholders with more places to use their cards.

The PULSE ATM/debit network is comprised of more than 289,000 ATMs and point-of-sale terminals, and is used by more than 4,500 financial institutions—including banks and credit unions—across the United States.

“Adding a new PIN POS network will increase the scope of card acceptance and cardholder use,” says Jerry Uffner, TransCard’s President. “We are always working to improve our products, give cardholders more ways to use their cards and, ultimately, provide more cardholder value.”

PULSE is owned by Discover Financial Services—offering a comprehensive suite of payment solutions, including PIN-less bill payment, PIN and signature debit products, credit products, stored-value card programs and, of course, ATM network services.

“Our relationship with Discover Network continues to provide benefits for all of our cardholders—with PULSE being the most recent manifestation of those benefits,” says Craig Fuller, CEO of TransCard. “We look forward to continued product enhancements that make our cardholders’ lives easier and less stressful.”
