Systems, Inc. (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) President, Bruce Baillio announced today the signing
of a prepaid debit card distribution agreement with an
Italian travel agency that specializes in Caribbean, European and US

Antonio Bianchi, President of
TravelAuto.net stated, "Many of our travellers want a safe,
secure and easy-to-use way to carry spending money during their
trip. The prepaid debit card is the best way that we have
found. Smartcard is providing us not only the card, but
the platform needed to manage the program."
CEO Massimo Barone said "We are
very pleased to have increased our Prepaid Debit Card programs
under contract now by more than 200% from the previous year and the
number of potential clients to actively market. We continue to see
major growth as Requests For Proposals (RFP) are increasing with
more substantial opportunities in progress. What has really changed
for us is the capacity to deliver the platform and combination of
prepaid debit cards in a cost effective manner which clients have
found very affordable. For many clients the Return On Investment
(ROI) was a factor which was very important as the upfront costs
could be a burden converting clients from other payment method
types."
