SAF-T-PAY EXPANDS ITS
FAMILY OF MERCHANTS WITH ULTRACART
MIAMI
BEACH, Fla., Oct. 6, 2006 – SAF-T-PAY Inc., a global Internet payment
system company, today announced that it has entered an agreement with
UltraCart, a hosted web-based shopping cart servicing merchants
worldwide. Through this agreement, UltraCart will offer SAF-T-PAY to
its merchant client base as a viable and safe payment alternative for
online shoppers. Currently, SAF-T-PAY through its bank partners offers
merchants access to a potential client base of over 13 million
pre-qualified online banking customers in Latin America.
Manuel Montero, former American Express executive and SAF-T-PAY’s
current CEO, stated, “We are extremely excited about bringing to our
customers in
Latin America the quality merchants that UltraCart services. SAF-T-PAY
is partnering with major banking groups outside the
U.S.
whose customers want to buy in the U.S. but for a number of reasons can
not. “
SAF-T-PAY expansion plans include European and Asian markets
which will eventually enable the company to tap into the 120 million
online international shoppers. SAF-T-PAY allows retailers to expand
their customer base while resolving the key issues that currently
restrict sales such as merchants’ exposure to fraud, consumers’ lack of
trust, reduced card penetration and lack of personal credit
information. Montero affirmed, “We know that many merchants want
potential customers from abroad. By joining SAF-T-PAY, merchants can
really benefit from the ground floor opportunity we provide…who can turn
down pre-qualified online shoppers, free promotion opportunities and no
fraud risk?”
UltraCart’s CEO, Jim Schaeffer added, “We look forward to a
mutually beneficial partnership with SAF-T-PAY. I believe our globally
conscious merchant partners will love the opportunities SAF-T-PAY offers
to expand into international markets.”
UltraCart, founded in 1996, is headquartered in
Atlanta, Georgia, and
has an additional office in Merced, California. The company hosts their
services from a world-class data center and services small- and
medium-sized businesses worldwide. UltraCart’s market leading technology
provides clients the power to create e-business systems that leverage
the capabilities of the Internet to grow their businesses.
