About Us
Hi, I'm Jake...from State Farm
I started Prepaid Program Management (PPM) in 2017 after watching several Program Managers with great ideas for payment products struggle with launching. They had great technology, marketing, and product folks, but they needed help on the payments and compliance side of things.
Because of their lack of knowledge in this space, they had a hard time getting meetings with important vendors such as banks and processors. They also struggled with integrating all the technologies.
I started PPM to help these founders get to market faster so they did not burn all their investment dollars pre-launch and helped save them millionsin the process.

How We are Different
100% Money Back Guarantee
If you are unhappy with our service or product, we will refund 100% of your most recent payment. We need to earn your business every single day.
No Long Term Contracts
You have enough people wanting to lock you into long-term contracts. We hate those! We want you to keep doing business with us every month because you love working with us, and we provide you with a ton of value. We won’t hold you back if you need to pivot because of some contract.
We Systemize Everything
Many Consultants try to build a custom solution with every client or don't create templates as they go. This costs a lot of money and takes up a lot of time. We are different. We listen to you to understand your program. Then, we start with a template and make tweaks. This helps you get to market faster with an MVP, so you spend your investor dollars testing and tweaking, not building.
Excellent Client Support
There are some excellent service providers in the Prepaid Industry….but there are many, many lousy service providers. We guarantee that you will receive Ritz-Carlton-level support from us or your money back. That’s right! We will refund your current month’s fees if we don't provide excellent service.
Faster Program Start Ups
We are not going to lie to you. We cannot get your program up and running in a few weeks or even a month. No one can. If they tell you they can, then they are lying. But we can help you get started faster. We begin by laying out a project plan with all the steps needed throughout the program setup. Most Program Managers and consultants are slowed down because they don’t know all the steps in setting up a program from scratch - we've been building our project plan for years. In most cases, a partner asks you to fill out a form or make a decision. However, you have never thought about that question before and must discuss it with your team. This takes precious time. We help you think about all of these questions before they are asked. This shaves weeks and months off of your timeline... when you have no revenue coming in the door.
Focus on Compliance
Our business's unfortunate reality is that compliance needs to be front and center in everything we do. We are certified in compliance and look for ways to say yes to your ideas instead of saying no to everything.
