Wednesday 30. April 2008 - As Stated by SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc. (Pink Sheets: SMKG) (Frankfurt: QYH.F), leading provider of prepaid cards, stored value cards and transaction processing services, is pleased to announce entering into a Private Label agreement with Payment Data Systems of San Antonio, TX (BULLETIN BOARD: PYDS) , an integrated electronic payments solutions provider, to add PYDS' bill payment services to its VelocityMoney.com financial platform.
This will provide the ability for VelocityMoney.com account holders to pay their bills online to over 3,200 nationwide billers.
Bruce Baillio, President of SMKG said, “This is a natural addition to the VelocityMoney.com financial services portal and a natural evolution in our relationship with Payment Data. We are already partnering with Payment Data to market globally-branded, prepaid debit cards and to resell their merchant credit card acquiring services. This new service makes our portal even more robust.” Mr. Baillio further stated, “It was important for VelocityMoney customers to be able to pay anyone and to be able to pay from any bank account. We chose Payment Data’s bill payment platform due to their ability to implement in four weeks or less and that their platform is bank independent. We were excited to learn that the system is flexible enough to allow for multiple payment accounts including checking, savings, investment accounts and prepaid debit cards. We also took comfort in knowing that Payment Data’s offering is fully licensed under US Patent 7,021,530 that relates to bill payments made with debit and stored value cards.”
The bill payment services that will be available on VelocityMoney.com will allow enrolled account holders to make approved payments to anyone twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Users will be able to schedule one-time payments or set up recurring payments, initiate account to account transfers and reload their prepaid debit cards all from the VelocityMoney.com bill payment system. “This is in addition to the capabilities of the VelocityMoney.com online account that allows a user to send payments or remittances from their online account to anyone in the world,” Mr. Baillio stated.
