Milestone Achievement Signals New Era for FNDS3000 PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla., Sept. 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- FNDS3000 Corp (OTC:FDTC) (BULLETIN BOARD: FDTC) (Frankfurt: "FT4," A0MWLG) announced today that it launched its first payroll card program in South Africa. After the completion of all necessary certifications, FNDS3000 started providing processing services to its customers in South Africa. Michael J. Dodak, CEO and Chairman of the Board of FNDS3000, stated, "The issuing of our Diamond Cash Card is a significant milestone in our corporate history. Our major strategic objective was to install our prepaid card- issuing platform in Johannesburg, South Africa to serve as a launching pad for tapping into the expanding unbanked markets. The prepaid platform will service South Africa and will expand to include many other African and Middle Eastern countries such as Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, United Arab Emirates and Qatar, as well as others. The introduction of our prepaid card solution compliments the South African Government's drive toward the economic advancement of previously disadvantaged communities. The issuing of our prepaid cards allows us to generate our initial revenue stream from this division immediately. Looking forward, we have begun the process which will lead to launching our programs in the Middle East. We are securing a significant customer base in that region commencing in the United Arab Emirates. In addition, we are actively pursuing opportunities in India and Eastern Europe. Our launch in South Africa is a significant step forward in penetrating into quickly developing emerging markets of the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region." Victoria Vaksman, Executive Vice President of EMEA for FNDS3000 stated, "The launch of our first payroll card program is not only a milestone in FNDS3000's ability to issue prepaid cards that are accepted at retailers and ATM's worldwide, but it is also a significant competitive advantage for FNDS3000 in the prepaid debit card market. Where closed loop card programs are prevalent in the African market, there are few card processors that have the ability to issue official association branded cards. The hard work and dedication of our technical staff will grow our cardholder base, thus ensuring a faster return on investment." "Today's announcement opens up the lucrative salary card market in South Africa where an estimated 12 million employees remain unbanked, or under banked. This launch allows us to start servicing our customer backlog in this country that has been growing over the prior six months. Through our established reseller program we aim to issue approximately 1.2 Million prepaid debit cards before the end of 2009. As we roll out these prepaid debit cards, we expect to receive a predictable and recurring revenue stream that is estimated to be $5 per card per month." About FNDS3000 Corp FNDS3000 Corp.
