MAGIC by Magic Johnson Delivers a Strong Financial Opportunity That Offers Acceptance, Convenience, and Control
LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwire - Jun 27, 2012) - In life, everyone can use a little magic to call their own. Entrepreneur and NBA Hall of Famer Earvin "Magic" Johnson, in partnership with OneWest Bank, FSB, today launches the MAGIC card, a reloadable prepaid MasterCard® that offers an excellent way for cardholders to simplify their lives and better manage their everyday financial needs. Offered nationally and available online at OnlyMagicCard.com, cardholders can rest easy knowing the MAGIC prepaid MasterCard comes from a reputable name they can trust.
"I want people to know this is my card," said Johnson, Chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises. "I created this card because I believe everybody should be able to function in today's society where money has changed, and cash is no longer king. The MAGIC prepaid card can help make people's lives easier because it's safer and it allows cardholders to feel more in control. It's also important to me to be clear and upfront about the fees, so that people easily understand how this card works."
To learn more about how people can use the MAGIC prepaid card, and the MAGIC card National Tour, which starts in July, visit OnlyMagicCard.com. On the tour, Mr. Johnson wants to know "What Inspires You?" People can share videos of their inspirational stories on YouTube (http://youtube.com/OnlyMagicCard). The person with the most inspiring story will get to meet with Magic Johnson at a special inspirational event in LA. Tour event locations can be found at OnlyMagicCard.com (OnlyMagicCard.com) and on Facebook (http://fb.com/OnlyMagicCard).
THE ULTIMATE TEAM PLAYER INSPIRES PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT
"One of the ways I want to help people define their own success and achieve financial freedom is to give them more access to a solid financial toolkit," says Johnson.
The MAGIC prepaid card offers an alternative payment solution that is safer and more convenient than cash, and it provides money management tools that empower customers to take steps toward greater financial security. Since there's no credit check or bank account required, it's also easy to get a card and begin using it.
The FDIC reports more than 60 million people in the U.S. do not have traditional bank deposit accounts or have limited access to a payment card.
"Let's face it, cash can only take you so far. With the MAGIC prepaid card people can go places and do things they can't do with cash -- like shop online, rent a car, or book travel reservations. But beyond that, it's a card designed for anybody who wants more enjoyment, stability and control in their life."
HOW THE MAGIC PREPAID CARD WORKS
With the MAGIC prepaid card there is no credit check or bank account required. It is a prepaid card that allows the cardholder to add money to it and control spending by only spending what they put on the card. All funds are FDIC-insured. Similar to a debit card, it can be used to withdraw cash at ATMs or used for purchases at millions of merchants worldwide anywhere MasterCard is accepted.
