Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for ordering and distributing redeemable value instruments internationally are disclosed. The systems can include two microprocessor based systems located in different countries. One of the microprocessor based systems includes a computer readable medium with instructions executable for receiving a request to distribute a negotiable stored value card to the foreign country, and a message to a recipient in the foreign country. The systems also include a stock stored value card and a writer operable to load a value on the stock stored value card to create a negotiable stored value card. Various of the methods include receiving a request for a stored value card in one country that requests distribution in another country. The stored value card is prepared for distribution in the country in which it is distributed, and provided in exchange for a document control number communicated to a recipient in the country in which the stored value card is distributed.
