Paycard Systems, LLC developed, implemented and managed the OceanPay Program. OceanPay was a Visa prepaid payroll program specifically developed for the cruise line industry. We developed a unique application - OceanPay Money Transfer service whereby cardholders could send international wire payments directly from their Visa OceanPay card. Clients included Norwegian Cruise Lines, Crystal Cruises, Oceania, Regent, Steiner Leisure, International Shipping Partners and other cruise concessionaires. Paycard Systems was purchased by Prepaid Solutions in early 2010 (subsequently renamed Brightwell Payments) and I joined them in the capacity of VP of Sales and Business Development.
