NTSP

Netspend Holdings, Inc.

A provider of reloadable prepaid debit cards, letting people who lack traditional bank accounts load money onto Visa and Mastercard-branded cards to spend online and in stores. Founded in 1999 by brothers Roy and Bertrand Sosa in Austin, Texas, the company got its start from their apartment with a modest pile of savings. The name blends "net" and "spend," a nod to paying electronically.
