Nonprofits & governmental organisations

Commit to financial inclusion via spend controlled payment cards that can be handed out instantly, without regulatory hoops to jump through. Satisfaction is making access to finance equal in society.

Everyone deserves a seamless payment experience

Nonprofits and governmental organisations need to distribute aid in a way that’s reliable and compliant, reduces the administrative workload and ensures that money is used for the intended purpose. Giving cash is not efficient, it’s difficult to track and risks the funds going into the wrong hands.

Not-for-profit organisations need to focus on helping those in need rather than using limited resources to understand payments and navigate compliance. This can be a challenging issue to tackle since payments are not their expertise.

Thankfully, the right partnerships allow you to focus on your mission. Enfuce offers turnkey card programs where we combat fraud and handle disputes, everything you need for local and country specific regulations and compliance, while you focus on the good stuff – delivering globally accepted instant prepaid cards with built-in spend controls to those in need.

Financial inclusion

Serve people who are not eligible for traditional banking.
Give your customers dignity & anonymity by using universal payment cards instead of complex aid vouchers.

Customisable to any customer group

Set custom features and advanced spend controls to serve anyone, with any need. For example, you can create a card that only works in pharmacies, a card for purchasing only furniture, etc. Sky’s the limit.

Smooth operations, cost optimisation, and maximum control

Cards can be given instantly without needing to go through a lengthy application process.
Cards can be delivered directly to your specific offices or locations, making sure your cards are in the right place when needed. This eliminates the hassle of shipping cards back and forth internally, saving time and resources.
Advanced spend controls minimise fraud.
Enfuce provides both a portal for your customers to manage their funds and activate their cards and a portal for your employees to manage your cardbase and assist customers as needed. This will help speed up your go-live and save on costs since you don’t need to develop these UIs yourself.

“In 2009, when I arrived in France as a refugee, I didn’t have a bank account while I had a few income assets. But when I had no more cash, I was not able to buy anything… After a few months, I was finally able to open a bank account, but without the card that would allow me to withdraw money from ATMs or pay in stores or online.

This situation lasted for over a year and negatively impacted my personal and professional life. We created Welcome.Place to make sure that every newcomer could have access to banking solutions suited to his/her situation.”

Rooh Savar, Co-Founder and CEO of Welcome.Place

Explore how our award-winning payment cards tackled tricky challenges

Immigration service card

Immigrants get a reception allowance upon arrival to support them in their new situation. These people come from different circumstances and for different reasons. They cannot open regular bank accounts because they don’t have national social security identifiers.

The issued prepaid card is an intermediate solution for the immigrants to be able to receive social welfare benefits, salaries, get their household fees paid, etc. It’s fit for purpose to provide a light banking solution for people without access to traditional banking services.
Prison service card

Prisons do not accept cash or personal payment methods, which is why prisoners need access to governmental prepaid cards to make payments.

They get certain allowances from the state that can only be consumed with this prepaid card. Prisoners can spend their money in prison canteens or shops that sell daily supplies.
Court system card

These cards are used for paying witness allowance. When you testify in a court case, you are compensated for your time, effort and expenses. The payments are single-loaded into this prepaid card. Usually, the outgoing payments are of relatively low value.

These cards deliver convenience and seamless compensation, enabling the witness to be paid directly after performing their duties.

This also eliminates a lot of back office work and overhead for the court system because they don’t have to manage payments and assign remunerations later.
Social services card

Social insurance beneficiaries can get their allowances directly on this instantly issued card. The cards can be assigned to people who don’t have access to traditional banking services. They enable beneficiaries to pay for their everyday costs like rent, healthcare, and food.

Also, cards for specific use cases, such as pharmacy cards for medicine bills that only work in pharmacies and can be topped up as needed, can be issued. Such payment cards provide a discreet way of using benefits without the fear or shame of being judged or discriminated against.
First aid card

A prepaid card created for a non-profit Welcome.Place supports the Ukrainian refugees who have arrived in France since the start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022. As part of a “Welcome Package”, which is distributed to newcomers in France, refugees and immigrants will receive a prepaid Visa card that is pre-loaded with funds to facilitate spending on a range of items and services within their first weeks in the country.

In full compliance with local regulations and payment industry mandates including PCI-DSS, Enfuce facilitates the card issuing and physical card distribution. Supported by Enfuce’s cloud-based processing platform, Welcome.Place can also remotely and instantly set advanced spend controls on each card, including where and how it can be used, with full tracking and monitoring of how money is spent. In addition, the cards can be instantly blocked from usage in certain merchant category codes (gambling and gaming etc,) and spend controls can be adjusted in real-time to enable purchases at approved locations.
