MobileTech and GPayments Team Up to Provide Online Payment and
Authentication Solutions to Clients in North Asia

Supporting Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode and JCB J/Secure for
eCommerce and Two Factor Authentication for Internet Banking

Hong Kong, August 18, 2005 - To strengthen its online payment and authentication products, MobileTech, a leading e-Commerce and m-Commerce solution provider with its headquarters in Hong Kong, has partnered with GPayments, the leading Australian-based payment and authentication solutions company.

The partnership enhances MobileTech's solution portfolio, which now includes a range of secure online payment and authentication products delivered through a choice of end-user devices. The solutions are designed to support Internet merchants, service providers, banks and financial institutions (both issuing and acquiring) with their online payment and authentication initiatives. They are available to institutions in Hong Kong, China and Macau, to provide secure services to Internet customers.

The GPayments products also provide two-factor authentication for Internet banking, in addition to Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode and JCB J/Secure for e-Commerce and m-Commerce. This is particularly important due to the significant increase in phishing attacks globally and the threat to online security, particularly through Internet banking.

“With the addition of GPayments’ products to our portfolio, we can now provide a complete set of certified payment and authentication products to issuers, acquirers, service providers and merchants in the region. It is exciting to know that our clients can not only benefit from Verified by Visa, MasterCard SecureCode and JCB J/Secure for e-Commerce and m-Commerce, they can also provide two factor authentication solutions to their Internet banking customers using a range of end-user devices such as mobile phones and one time password generators”, said Mr. Sam LAM, Chief Executive Officer of MobileTech.

“We are very pleased to partner with MobileTech to offer our payment and authentication products to clients in the North Asia region. GPayments is committed to developing high quality and feature rich solutions and marketing them through strong local partners. We look forward to creating a successful alliance with MobileTech and providing to their clients the benefit of our experience in this market”, said Mr. David Mottershead, VP Business Development of GPayments.
