This innovative payment solution is now available in both physical and virtual form and offers users the convenience of quick registration, multiple payment methods for top-up, as well as the ability to use the card for everyday purchases and online services.
According to Alejo Sebo, Head of Issuance at AstroPay, the strategic partnership with Pomelo was key in expanding the payment solution globally. The partnership leverages Pomelo’s technology and operational management to simplify financial transactions for users, enabling easy spending management and instant access to funds.
