Plastyc, provider of the UPside Visa card and the iBankUP online banking service, released today a new pharmacy savings card available immediately to all customers. The UPsideRx Pharmacy Savings card provides prescription drug discounts from 11 percent to 75 percent at over 63,000 pharmacies, including major chains such as Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Target, CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, CostCo, Publix, Kroger, Winn-Dixie, Albertsons and Kmart plus most independent pharmacies.
The savings card is especially helpful for people who don't have a prescription drug benefit, who are taking a medication not covered by their insurance or who have a high co-pay or deductible.
The discounts provide an average of 53 percent off the retail price of most pharmacy purchases. Everyone in the family can use the same card. There are no limits to how many times the card can be used and there are no fees to use the card. In addition, when cardholders submit for drug manufacturer rebates, the amount is credited directly to their UPside Visa card rather than through a check or card delivered by mail.
"At Plastyc, we are always looking for innovative financial tools to serve the underbanked. Prescription drug costs are a huge financial burden to many people, so we're excited to offer this chance to save at no cost to our customers," says Patrice Peyret, CEO of Plastyc.
UPside Visa cardholders can print their UPsideRx Pharmacy Savings card from their online card statement. For more information on the UPsideRX Pharmacy Savings, visit http://www.upsiderx.com

In addition to the free card for prescription drug discounts, UPside Visa cardholders can opt for three, discounted health and safety benefits packages provided by DataRx at prices ranging from $ 9.99 to $ 15.99 per month. The optional paid plans come with dental, vision and hearing care, emergency roadside assistance and telemedicine services.
