Recently, Paygoo has rolled out its first prepaid card MasterCard following the previous launch of its MasterCard Gift Card program, earlier this year.

The cards can be purchased and loaded throughout Reitan Convenience, 7-Eleven, Shell and Narvesan offering instant issue at extensive point-of-sale outlets, as well as online.

The new Paygoo Reload MasterCard targets overseas workers, as well as the unbanked. It has been initially launched successfully in Norway.

The company also plans to launch the card in Sweden soon to secure wide reach and adoption across the Nordics.

Paygoo CEO Per Erik Nygaard said: "We are delighted to establish a partnership with Wirecard which we are sure will support our growth ambitions in the Nordic prepaid market.

"For Paygoo it was important to choose an issuer with outstanding experience and knowledge, combined with a mind-set characterized by innovation and creativity."
