An executive with experience in the fintech industry, Jerome Arthur Uffner gained knowledge of prepaid cards while serving as the senior vice president and head of prepaid at the Fidelity National Information Services Inc. (FIS). Jerome Uffner serves as a member of the Innovative Payments Association (IPA) to educate the public and lawmakers on the technology.
The IPA serves multiple purposes. Open to fintech professionals, the organization seeks to connect like-minded peers in networking events to learn the latest developments in the prepaid industry. Members can educate themselves and their companies on services like peer-to-peer (P2P) payment and mobile wallets through exclusive webinars. Publications like the IPA’s podcast discuss pressing news, explain topics relevant to individuals and companies, and give predictions about the future of prepaid services.
The IPA also educates the media, policymakers, and more about the prepaid industry and shapes legislation regarding prepaid services. Members gain opportunities to speak directly with federal representatives on prepaid issues and provide the media with accurate information on the IPA’s target areas. Through their advocacy, members collaborate with law enforcement agencies to ensure that prepaid products operate efficiently while following preexisting financial regulations.
