A payment services provider may offer general-purpose reloadable (“GPR”) cards to customers that are co-managed by the payment services provider and a traditional prepaid program manager. An integration is implemented between the payment services provider system hosting the online stored-value account and the program manager system such that the balance of the funds maintained for the online stored-value account may be used for purchases made using the GPR card.
