3V’s payment solutions are built from the patented Virtavo technology platform, which brings together issuing, loading, spending and acquiring services. Stored-value accounts can be issued in multiple currencies and accessed/loaded from anywhere in the world through in-store ePOS systems, online, using Peer 2 Peer applications or via international money transfers. Spending can specified as open-or closed-loop granting clients complete control over how their prepay products are used, whereas customers have the option to spend their funds from a virtual eWallet, or using a physical chip-and pin card.
