products and services that many of us take for granted. That’s why Meta’s mission
is to promote financial inclusion for everyone. Meta is committed to supporting
financial literacy and products that help move people toward financial freedom.
The prepaid industry provides a critical platform for us to accomplish that, and
I am honored to be part of it.
