Prepaid product and transaction services company InComm has purchased Hong Kong-based ValuAccess, which provides stored value programmes, loyalty programmes and transaction processing to retailers in Asia.

This partnership led to offering of a suite of products, including prepaid cards, gift cards and other stored-value programmes while increasing sales and foot traffic at participating retailers, the companies claimed.

InComm executive vice-president and general manager for international Frank Monaco said: "This acquisition strengthens InComm's international presence and reaffirms our commitment to the Asian market.

"Asia continues to be a key strategic focus for InComm and this will enable us to continue to build on our success throughout the region."
