First "Cash Back" Prepaid Debit Card Introduced by Walmart



Walmart MoneyCard First to Offer Cash Back on Prepaid Debit Card 

Cash Back for Gas Purchases Nationwide

BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, Walmart (NYSE: WMT) announces the first cash-back incentive for consumers using a prepaid debit card. When customers use the Walmart MoneyCard to buy gasoline for their vehicles, they'll receive 1 percent cash back on their gas purchases nationwide through Dec. 31, 2010.
"We know our customers need to stretch their budgets wherever they can. Just in time for Memorial Day and summer vacations, we are delighted to offer a benefit they want – cash back on gas," said Jane Thompson, president, Walmart Financial Services. "It's one more way we can help families save money."
The Walmart MoneyCard* is a reloadable prepaid Visa debit Card that only costs $3 to purchase, does not require a bank account or credit check, and never has overdraft fees. Customers buying new MoneyCards will be automatically enrolled in the cash-back program, while customers who already have MoneyCards will find it easy to enroll.  The cash back will be added to the MoneyCard balance.
"The Walmart MoneyCard is a smart way to manage money," said Thompson. "It's safer than cash because you're protected if it's lost or stolen. For many of our customers, the MoneyCard replaces cash and helps them do everything they need to do, such as paying bills or shopping online."
The Walmart MoneyCard is issued by GE MoneyBank with additional services provided by Green Dot. The MoneyCards are available at U.S. Walmart stores and can be used everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted. The MoneyCards are protected by the Visa Zero Liability Policy, which protects the cardholder from unauthorized purchases, fraud and theft if the card is lost or stolen.** For more information, visit www.walmartmoneycard.com.

The Walmart MoneyCard can be used for many purposes, including:
  • Shop everywhere Visa is accepted, including online and at walmart.com

  • Direct deposit your paycheck to the card

  • Get cash from millions of ATMs worldwide*

  • Pay bills including cable, cell phone and others

  • Pay for gas, groceries and more

  • Use at restaurants, make hotel reservations, buy airline tickets  

  • Budget and track spending online with E-Mail/SMS Balance Alerts



Walmart Money Services
Walmart is a leading provider of affordable money services that help customers manage their money and keep their finances on track.  The company estimates that last year customers saved $450 million in fees by using Walmart money services.
These services include:
  • Check Cashing – With Walmart check cashing, customers can conveniently cash payroll or government checks, including tax-refund checks, starting at $3.

  • Bill Payment – Walmart offers three-day, next-day and same-day bill payment delivery options, with prices starting at 88 cents.

  • Money Transfers – Customers can use MoneyGram® to send money to friends and family around the world in minutes, for a great low fee.



About Walmart

The company and its Foundation are committed to a philosophy of giving back locally. Walmart is proud to support the causes that are important to customers and associates right in their own neighborhoods, and last year gave more than $467 million in cash and in kind gifts to local communities in the United States. More information about Walmart can be found by visiting www.walmartstores.com.
*The Walmart MoneyCard is issued by GE Money Bank, member FDIC, pursuant to a license from Visa U.S.A., Inc. Additional services provided by Green Dot Corporation.  Purchase price, monthly, ATM and other fees may apply. See Cardholder Agreement for details.  Not available in all states.

EFF Research: Browsers Leave Your Fingerprints all Over the Web

Electronic Frontier FoundationImage via Wikipedia


Who needs biometrics?  Net-Security.org reports that  "an overwhelming majority of web browsers have unique signatures - creating identifiable "fingerprints" that could be used to track you as you surf the Internet," according to research by the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).


The findings were the result of an experiment EFF conducted with volunteers who visited a website that anonymously logged the configuration and version information from each participant's operating system, browser, and browser plug-ins - information that websites routinely access each time you visit - and compared that information to a database of configurations collected from almost a million other visitors.  EFF found that 84% of the configuration combinations were unique and identifiable, creating unique and identifiable browser "fingerprints." Browsers with Adobe Flash or Java plug-ins installed were 94% unique and trackable.

identityTruth® Announces Agreement With Trend Micro to Extend Identity Protection For Their Retail Customers



http://www.identitytruth.com

Together, the two companies will deliver extra layers of security that includes comprehensive identity monitoring for consumers.

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IdentityTruth, the leading provider of a new breed of identity theft monitoring services to help consumers avoid identity theft and safeguard their privacy and identity, today announced the selection of its identity monitoring services by Trend Micro, a global leader in Internet content security. This strategic relationship will enable both companies to offer a PC security product that includes comprehensive identity monitoring beyond basic credit monitoring. The package will also include lost or stolen PC recovery services provided by Absolute® software. This unique, comprehensive consumer bundle will be available on select retail shelves in May 2010.
“Digital financial transactions are no longer limited to the personal desktop computer. Today’s consumers use laptops and mobile communication devices for online banking and shopping, to store financial documents, tax returns and more”
“Digital financial transactions are no longer limited to the personal desktop computer. Today’s consumers use laptops and mobile communication devices for online banking and shopping, to store financial documents, tax returns and more,” said Steven Domenikos, CEO of identityTruth “Identity theft is burdensome and time-consuming, which is why we’ve teamed with a company like Trend Micro that shares the same vision of protecting consumers against identity crimes.”
“Trend Micro’s mission is to ensure our customers personal online freedom and peace-of-mind,” said Tobias Lee, vice president of marketing, consumer and small business, Trend Micro. “And as security risks extend beyond the physical boundaries of a desktop computer into the physical world, we’re pleased to partner with identityTruth to extend more layers of security for our customers.”
According to FTC, Identity theft is America's fastest-growing crime. More than 70 million identities will be lost this year alone with as many as 4 million social security numbers being stolen. Simple credit monitoring is not enough - only 15% of identity theft is credit-related (85% of identity fraud happens “outside” the credit system). IdentityTruth has discovered suspicious “identity events” for more than 1 out of 4 consumers who subscribe to its service.
IdentityTruth’s unique Faster than Fraud™ technology combines data from many different sources--going beyond simple credit-based protection to deliver a more complete picture of an individual’s identity risk.
The service continuously combines and analyzes any and all information that is discovered specific to an individual to detect, predict, and alert consumers to suspicious activities, identifying potential fraud patterns before fraud happens and providing concrete next-steps to resolve a problem that may arise.
About IdentityTruth
IdentityTruth is the leading provider of a new breed of service to help consumers safeguard their Privacy and Identity. IdentityTruth’s proprietary technology provides subscribers with advance notice of potential identity fraud so they can take better control to stop it before it becomes costly. IdentityTruth not only detects--but can actually predict--possible problems, and that is what makes IdentityTruth Faster than Fraud™. IdentityTruth is a privately-held, VC- funded company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Investors include Argonaut Ventures and Stata Venture Partners. For more information, go to www.IdentityTruth.com or call 781-684-1300.
