Need for speed: National Gift Card launches eCard API

ELGIN, Ill., Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- National Gift Card Corp. (NGC), announced today the company has launched its first proprietary application programming interface (API) to provide customers with electronic gift cards in real time.

The new gift card API allows B2B program buyers and clients in the loyalty, rewards, incentive, benefit, and membership industries to quickly integrate with NGC's gift card catalog and send ngceCodes in real time to program participants.

According to Eric Thiegs, senior VP of business development, "Our gift card API is an ideal solution for loyalty programs, rewards programs, or any client needing real time electronic gift card fulfillment, and premium digital card options."

In addition to the increased speed advantage, the new API offers organizations a new degree of operational ease for rewards program administrators.
