GiveCard Collaborates with Visa to Modernize Disbursements in the Public Sector
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- GiveCard, a platform purpose-built to help nonprofits and government agencies disburse and manage funds over prepaid funds, today announced a strategic collaboration with Visa. GiveCard will be issuing virtual and physical prepaid cards to recipients, distributing them directly to recipients through various U.S. government agencies.
'GiveCard has built a simple and intuitive platform that helps eliminate the cost, time and complexity associated with disbursement of funds' - Rick Malcolm, Head of Visa Government Solutions North America.
Together, the two organizations are helping the public sector transition into the cashless era with infrastructure that enables secure ledger transfers at scale - through prepaid debit cards, as well as GiveCard-powered real-time bank transfers and automated workflows that reduce administrative overhead.
As the federal government accelerates efforts to modernize payments – including a recent executive order to phase out paper checks by September 30, 2025 – agencies are working to deliver digital-first, audit-ready payment systems. The GiveCard–Visa collaboration offers a turnkey solution: a modern infrastructure that fuses GiveCard's advanced disbursement technology with Visa's prepaid debit cards.
'The world is going cashless, and government and nonprofit systems have been working to modernize their payment systems to keep up,' said Lurein Perera, Co-Founder and CEO of GiveCard. 'We built GiveCard to close that gap: offering a platform that empowers public-sector organizations to move money quickly, compliantly, and without requiring a 20-person operations team.'
GiveCard's infrastructure includes high-limit virtual and physical prepaid debit cards, ACH/RTP/FedNow bank transfers, and a full-service cardholder support system through a platform and live interpreter network that operates in 25+ languages. It's all backed by no-code dashboards, APIs, and customizable workflows so agencies can automate disbursement logic, like eligibility checks or attendance triggers, without building from scratch or hiring additional staff.
'GiveCard has built a simple and intuitive platform that helps eliminate the cost, time and complexity associated with disbursement of funds,' said Rick Malcolm, Head of Visa Government Solutions North America. 'Their ability to integrate into government disbursement systems to manage complex and high-volume payments has made them an early success in the public sector, and we look forward to what we can accomplish together for our customers and stakeholders in the government sector.'
GiveCard is purpose-built for disbursement: its infrastructure was designed to move money into people's hands with minimal friction, especially for unbanked or underbanked individuals. With no SSN or ID required, the system supports programs like housing aid, disaster relief, and research incentives while maintaining full anti-money laundering (AML) and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) compliance.
The new collaboration will enable state and local governments, school districts, and nonprofits to rapidly implement and scale digital disbursement programs with Visa-backed prepaid cards and secure digital rails.

Qualified Unveils Piper for Slack, Enabling Real-Time Human and Agent Collaboration for B2B Sales and Marketing Teams
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Qualified, the leader in agentic marketing, today announced the launch of Piper for Slack, a breakthrough integration that brings its industry-leading AI SDR agent directly into the world's most popular productivity platform. The fact that I can now talk to Piper in Slack like one of my colleagues and get immediate insight into meetings she's booked, prospect details, and pipeline generated is truly remarkable. She's a powerhouse teammate I rely on daily. Share As AI-powered sales agents rapidly become essential to B2B go-to-market teams, seamless integration with Slack is now a critical requirement for maximizing productivity and collaboration. Piper for Slack delivers on this demand, enabling real-time, two-way conversations between human teams and AI, and setting a new standard for transparency and trust in the agentic marketing era. "We're squarely in the era of agentic marketing, where teams are hiring AI agents to autonomously generate pipeline," says Kraig Swensrud, Founder and CEO for Qualified. "Now that Piper is in Slack, she can carry out the promise of a truly autonomous, collaborative AI SDR agent. Piper for Slack represents the future of human and agent teamwork." Bridging the Trust Gap in AI Adoption While AI SDR agents offer the promise of autonomous pipeline generation, many businesses remain cautious due to a lack of transparency and collaboration—often referred to as the 'black box' problem. According to recent industry data, 40% of businesses that have not yet adopted AI cite a lack of trust as a primary barrier. Piper for Slack addresses this challenge head-on by making AI actions visible and interactive, fostering an open, real-time dialogue that empowers teams to embrace AI as a true teammate. Piper for Slack: Where Work Happens Piper for Slack enables sales and marketing teams to collaborate with their AI SDR agent directly within Slack, the platform where they already spend much of their day. Teams can receive proactive alerts, ask questions, strategize, and monitor Piper's performance—all without leaving their primary workspace. 'The fact that I can now talk to Piper in Slack like one of my colleagues and get immediate insight into meetings she's booked, prospect details, and pipeline generated is truly remarkable. She's a powerhouse teammate I rely on daily,' says Melanie Nelson, CMO at Rightsline. A Teammate for the Entire Go-to-Market Organization Piper for Slack transforms Piper from a background tool into a responsive, interactive teammate available 24/7 across the go-to-market organization. For Sales Teams: Sales teams can accelerate the path to 'closed-won' as Piper proactively alerts reps to notable events, such as meetings booked or website conversations with priority accounts. Piper also responds to ad hoc requests for insights—like '@Piper give me the rundown on the Brex account before my 2PM call' or '@Piper show me contacts at my target accounts who have visited our pricing page this week.' For Marketing Teams: Marketers gain full visibility into Piper's performance, with instant access to data and analytics. They can simply ask, '@Piper, how much pipeline did you generate this week?' or '@Piper, how many emails did you send that resulted in meetings booked?' and receive answers in seconds, enabling data-driven optimization of their pipeline engine.
