According to [Michel](https://giftcard.news/person/michel/), the company's leader, returning to run Reloadly after three years away has brought a mix of familiarity and change. When Reloadly launched in 2019, its mission was to be the API platform for mobile top-ups, but by 2021, the company had expanded into digital gift cards, launching its Gift Card API with a developer-first approach. This move was successful, and the company realized it was becoming a platform for digital value payouts. Seven years after its launch, Reloadly has observed organic growth in prepaid cards, both closed loop and open loop, with new customers buying these products having different industries, use cases, and buying patterns. As a result, the company has been preparing for change, including updating its marketing, branding, positioning, website, and go-to-market strategy. Reloadly has launched its new website, dubbed Reloadly 3.0, which is not just a redesign but a statement about who the company is now and where it is headed. The company has also built and shipped its payout links product, which allows companies to create campaigns where end users receive a redemption link and choose how they want to receive their value, such as a gift card or prepaid card. In addition, Reloadly has launched Swype, its own open loop, virtual prepaid card issuing program, which works globally on [Apple Pay](https://giftcard.news/company/apple/) and [Google Pay](https://giftcard.news/company/google/). Swype is an obvious product pivot from the company's traditional airtime/top-up business and has already been embedded inside some of the biggest reward and incentive companies in the industry. The company's new mission is to evolve beyond airtime top-ups into a global payouts and rewards platform built for developers. Reloadly provides the infrastructure that enables companies to programmatically move value to individuals anywhere in the world through the payout methods people actually use, including gift cards, money cards, or monetary payouts. Reloadly's goal is to provide a platform that meets the needs of recipients, who expect choice, speed, and trust, as well as organizations, which need scalability, compliance, reporting, and control. The company believes that change is sometimes a good thing and is building something much bigger inside the gap it has always lived in. As Reloadly continues to evolve, it is focused on providing clean, reliable APIs that can deploy with speed and simplicity, allowing developers to build innovative solutions that meet the needs of their customers. With its new mission and expanded product offerings, Reloadly is poised to make a significant impact in the global payouts and rewards industry. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [Change Is Sometimes a Good Thing, Here’s Why.](https://www.reloadly.com/blog/change-is-sometimes-a-good-thing-heres-why/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — reloadly.com ## In this article ### Companies * [Apple](https://giftcard.news/company/apple/) * [Google](https://giftcard.news/company/google/) * [Reloadly](https://giftcard.news/company/reloadly/) ### People * [Michel](https://giftcard.news/person/michel/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Freloadly-expands-into-global-payouts-and-rewards-platform-with-focus-on-cf98b0a744a4%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=Reloadly%20Expands%20into%20Global%20Payouts%20and%20Rewards%20Platform%20with%20Focus%20on%20Gift%20Cards%20and%20Prepaid%20Cards "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Freloadly-expands-into-global-payouts-and-rewards-platform-with-focus-on-cf98b0a744a4%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=Reloadly%20Expands%20into%20Global%20Payouts%20and%20Rewards%20Platform%20with%20Focus%20on%20Gift%20Cards%20and%20Prepaid%20Cards%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fgift-cards%2Freloadly-expands-into-global-payouts-and-rewards-platform-with-focus-on-cf98b0a744a4%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/oliver-reed-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/author/oliver-reed/) Journalist — Industry Deals & Research Oliver Reed covers industry acquisitions, investment and market research for Gift Card News.
