BELLEVUE, Wash. — Coinstar E-Payment Services, a subsidiary of Coinstar Inc., has been named a top prepaid performer in the 2009 Convenience Store Decisions brand preference study.
According to a news release, the study polled 65 decision makers from convenience-store chains about the sales and product performance of their prepaid providers. Survey questions included which prepaid manufacturer offers the most effective sales program, the best quality products and the best supplier relationship.

"This recognition not only points to Coinstar's leadership in the Pay As You Go industry, but to the dedication of our retail partners to make the prepaid category successful."
Coinstar shared top honors with PaySpot Inc. and Verizon. Honorable mention went to InComm and AT&T.
Coinstar's complete Pay As You Go solution features national and regional prepaid wireless programs, long distance, gift cards, digital entertainment and one of the industry's largest portfolios of financial services, including reloadable and one-time use Visa- and MasterCard-branded debit cards.
