Consumers get the convenience of the card platform, but also enjoy the purchasing power that comes with WiredBenefits’ network discounts,” said Charles Marshall, CEO of WiredBenefits. “Healthcare product and service providers will have unique opportunities to brand themselves at the point-of-sale in the pharmacy departments of leading retailers nationwide.”

WiredBenefits’ cards are healthcare focused general spend and reloadable prepaid cards that provide the cardholder with access to a host of low-cost proprietary healthcare products and services. Through InComm, WiredBenefits can now bring easy and powerful spending options to individuals and small to medium sized businesses.
