CITADEL'S SECURESWIPE TO DEBUT WITH EXCAPSA

Point of sale terminal protects online users at home with "card present" facility.

Citadel Commerce Corp., will pilot its revolutionary SecureSwipe device with Excapsa Software Inc., the company revealed in an announcement this week

SecureSwipe is a point of sale terminal which enables a user to swipe a credit or debit card and enter a PIN to conduct an immediate secure payment from home.

Michael Meeks, president of Citadel says his company has "....revolutionised the way on-line gaming merchants and their customers conduct business over the internet. The combination of myCitadel Wallet and the SecureSwipe pinpad enables our merchants to record transactions as ‘card present’ while providing their customers with a secure, effective and easy to use payment solution not previously seen in the online gaming market.”

SecureSwipe plugs into any personal computer via a standard USB connection, enabling consumers to pay securely for gaming site services with either a credit or debit card. Users can transfer eMoney into their myCitadel Wallet and pay by physically swiping their credit card at home using an assigned SecureSwipe pinpad device and electronically signing a receipt. Citadel Commerce correctly codes the credit card transactions according to card association regulations, and the purchases are approved because the payments are treated as card-present transactions.

"We are thrilled to have been selected by Citadel Commerce to pilot their latest technology allowing our consumers to process credit card payments via this unique device,” said Jim Ryan, CEO of Excapsa. “Processing credit card transactions via SecureSwipe provides a true cost effective alternative for those users whose cards have been declined via traditional methods.”
