PLEASANTON, Calif., Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Blackhawk Network today announced that its affiliate Blackhawk Network California, Inc. is the technology and service provider of the T-Mobile® Visa® Prepaid Card, issued by The Bancorp Bank and launched by T-Mobile USA, Inc. The card is designed to be used with Mobile Money, a smartphone app from T-Mobile, powered by Blackhawk Network, offering consumers a new way to manage money directly from their capable smartphones. In addition, those who provide their T-Mobile wireless number at registration will receive preferred pricing which includes: $0 purchase fee, $0 reload fee for reloads in T-Mobile retail stores, $0 monthly maintenance fees*, and $0 fee for withdrawals made using a nationwide surcharge-free ATM network.**

Consumers can download the free Mobile Money app onto their capable mobile device for easy access to their T-Mobile card account, as well as enroll for the T-Mobile Visa Prepaid Card on their mobile phone. Once activated after successful card registration, the physical card functions as a Visa prepaid card that may be used everywhere Visa cards are accepted. The Mobile Money app, in conjunction with the card, allows cardholders access to numerous benefits, including remote deposit check capture through their phone's camera, bill pay across other accounts (subject to payee participation and qualifying transactions), and online shopping.

"The more connected the on-the-go consumer is, the more there's a need to have their finances and access to spending in a convenient place that's everywhere they are," said Talbott Roche, Blackhawk Network president. "With Mobile Money by T-Mobile, it's easier than ever for consumers to manage their spending all from their mobile device, while creating additional opportunities for engagement and future purchases for our retail partners."
