PayPal launches its own prepaid card for online shopping and gaming
PayPal has announced launch of a prepaid card with Malaysian MOL Access Portal Berhad (MOL)
for online shopping and gaming. The card called the MOL PayPal – The Digital Card will be available
initially in Malaysia on July 19, 2010. It will be the first-ever co-branded prepaid card of PayPal in the
region.
The Digital Card enables Malaysians to fund their PayPal accounts that can be used to shop more
easily and securely on millions of websites that accept PayPal as a payment option. PayPal accounts can also be used
to buy MOLPoints, MOL’s online game payment service in Malaysia, to play over 200 games online. Now millions of
Malaysian Internet users have a way to expand their digital lifestyles to get great offers from PayPal merchants worldwide
and enjoy hours of fun online – even if they don’t have a credit card.
Malaysians will be able to buy The Digital Card in over 1,100 7-Eleven stores nationwide starting on July 19, 2010 or apply
for it online. We are also offering a special preview of the card at the National World Cyber Games in Kuala Lumpur from
July 16-18, 2010. Users can conveniently top up the card at more than 15,000 physical outlets in Malaysia or via online
banking. Card holders will also enjoy a wide range of shopping benefits and gaming rewards for using The Digital Card.
