MSD’s Prefund vs. Credit Line Models

The Strategic Choice That Powers Your Card Program’s Success

In today’s fast-moving business environment, the way you fund your card issuing program can make or break your operational efficiency. MSD’s dual funding approach gives you the strategic flexibility to match your funding model to your business reality—not the other way around.

Whether you need immediate liquidity or prefer to leverage working capital, MSD’s prefund and credit line models deliver the speed, control, and scalability modern businesses demand.

What These Models Do

MSD offers two funding approaches: Prefunding (deposit upfront) or Credit Line (spend first, repay later on 1, 7, 14, or 30-day terms). Both provide instant card funding, real-time tracking, spend controls, and full transparency.

Prefund Model: Simple. Fast. Zero credit risk.

How It Works: Deposit funds → MSD loads cards instantly → Spending pulls from prefunded balance.

This model delivers the fastest onboarding with no credit underwriting required and 100% balance control. It’s ideal for high-risk industries and excels in MLM commission payouts, employee bonuses, hospitality expenses, and inventory purchasing.

Credit Line Model: Flexible funding that supports growth.

How It Works: MSD extends credit → cardholders spend → business repays on chosen schedule.

This model improves cash flow, supports larger spending programs, and eliminates the need for prefunded balances. It works best for corporate vendor payments, logistics operations, scaling e-commerce businesses, and professional services.
