As prepaid matures, the next phase of its growth depends on assessments of its current success:

Is prepaid really an "on ramp" to mainline banking services? Should it be?
What is the evidence that prepaid helps consumers build credit records and/or savings?

What are the best ways to communicate fee structures?
