"I have been actively involved with the NBPCA since its inception as it grew into the world class advocacy organization that it is today.  When the opportunity presented itself to join the organization as its General Counsel and work full time to promote the use of prepaid products in daily commerce, I couldn't pass it up.  I have been passionate about the prepaid industry ever since I started working at TSYS Prepaid nearly 10 years ago, and this new role within the NBPCA allows me to pursue that passion," remarked Brad Fauss, NBPCA General Counsel.

In addition to adding Fauss, the Association has promoted Brian Tate to Vice President, Government Relations.
