MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 26, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc. (OTCQB:CAFN), a leading provider of cloud-based SaaS mobile money management technology to banks, credit unions and alternative financial services providers, announced today that the Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) Visa® Buxx app, powered by Cachet's Select Mobile™ Money prepaid platform, has been selected as a 2015 Paybefore Award winner in the Judges' Choice category. For nine years, Paybefore Awards has conferred the most prestigious recognition of excellence in the worldwide prepaid, mobile and emerging payments industry. The awards are presented annually by Paybefore, whose publications are the leading source of industry information for emerging payments executives.
The NFCU Visa Buxx App was selected by a panel of five industry experts who served as judges for this year's competition, which included entries from around the world.
"We are very pleased to partner with industry innovator NFCU, to provide their Visa Buxx cardholders the best mobile app possible," stated Jeffrey Mack, president and CEO, Cachet Financial Solutions. "Recognition for our prepaid mobile technology platform by the prestigious Paybefore Awards is validation of Cachet's dedication to delivering leading edge technologies that produce results for our clients."
"This year's Paybefore Awards have demonstrated once again that payments companies are committed to driving out the inefficiencies of cash and checks, while also increasing value for clients and end users," said Loraine DeBonis, Paybefore editor-in-chief and chair of the judging panel. "We're proud to recognize Cachet Financial Solutions, Inc., Navy Federal Credit Union and Visa Inc. for their contributions to advancing electronic payments and financial services."
NFCU Visa Buxx, a student geared program, uses Cachet's Select Mobile Money prepaid mobile application to view balances, request money from parents through SMS, email or in-app notification, and use the locator feature to easily locate the nearest branch or ATM. Parents have access to their student's balances, can transfer funds directly from their Navy Federal debit and credit cards, and have the ability to suspend their teen's card.
The NFCU Visa Buxx App now will vie for Best-in-Category distinction, which will be announced during the Paybefore Awards ceremony on Feb. 24 at the All Payments Expo. Visitors to Paybefore.com will have a chance to vote on Best-in-Category through Jan. 28. The outcome of this vote (counted as one-sixth of the total) will be combined with the five judges' picks to determine Best-in-Category honorees.
