NextBank plans to offer its new credit card services to partners throughout the world, operating under a special license that allows customers to bank globally in multiple currencies. The partnership with TruCash enables NextBank to issue cards to customers in nearly every country around the world, further expanding NextBank’s services.
“We chose NextBank as a partner because they solve fundamental challenges faced by all international business like ours,” said TruCash president, Diana Fletcher. “This includes the unification and organization of multiple international banking relationships and various international accounts. NextBank’s ability to extend banking services to multinational and international customers from a safe, U.S.-regulated bank is unique and long overdue in our digitally-connected world.”
“TruCash is a great partner for launching our first card services, they bring more than 25 years of experience in financial services along with worldwide coverage that we believe aligns perfectly with our mission and complementary capabilities.”

Through its unique partnerships with top global networks, TruCash provides customized prepaid Visa® card solutions that offer a full range of payment options, benefits and rewards. TruCash will provide NextBank a comprehensive mobile wallet, which includes (but will not be limited to) debit and credit card infrastructure. This supports the implementation and management of loyalty programs for credit card issuance, merchant acquiring services and worldwide remittance services.
“As an award-winning leader in the space, TruCash is a great partner for launching our first card services,” explained Todd Bonner, chairman of NextPlay Technologies and head of NextPlay’s fintech division. “They bring more than 25 years of experience in financial services along with worldwide coverage that we believe aligns perfectly with our mission and complementary capabilities.”
