NEOVIA announces anniversary of the Net+(TM) Prepaid MasterCard 
 
 
Market leading prepaid card continues to attract awards for innovation 
 
 
 
 
Wednesday, 2 December 2009 - NEOVIA Financial Plc (LSE: NEO), the independent 
global online payments business, is pleased to announce the first anniversary of 
the Net+TM Prepaid MasterCard . 
 
 
The Net+ card was the first prepaid MasterCard to be made available to 
NETELLER's e-wallet customers as both a physical prepaid card and a virtual, 
online-only, prepaid card. Both of these cards have offered NETELLER's customers 
the convenience of instant access to their cash in their e-wallets since the 
launch in October 2008.  The Net+ card synchronises automatically in real time 
with the funds in the NETELLER customer's e-wallet, avoiding the need for a 
separate pre-load transaction of the prepaid card. 
 
 
The Net+ Prepaid MasterCard, issued by Conister Bank Limited, incorporates chip 
and PIN technology and allows cardholders to instantly access funds from a 
NETELLER e-wallet account at over 29 million retail point of sale locations and 
more than 1 million ATMs worldwide. The virtual version of the card offers a 
secure way to shop and pay online with one-time usage card numbers. The Net+ 
Virtual Card is part of the NETELLER Desktop which, in addition, to offering 
convenient, secure and private payment via Net+, enables NETELLER e-wallet users 
to view the balance on their e-wallet account without the need to visit the main 
NETELLER site. 
 
 
These innovative features have been recognised through a number of awards for 
the Net+ card in the last 12 months.  It was voted the best new prepaid card at 
the prestigious Cards & Payments Europe 2009 Awards in June 2009.   NEOVIA was 
selected in February 2009 by financial technology newswire Finextra to appear in 
its Innovation Showcase for the Net+ Cards. Finextra noted that this was the 
first time an e-wallet has been used as a loading mechanism for both a virtual 
and physical card.NETELLER was also named as the winner of the Best Gaming 
Prepaid Card at the Prepaid365 Prepaid Card Awards in July 2009. 
 
 
Net+(TM) cards form a key part of the NEOVIA Payment Suite, which also features 
the NETBANX international payments gateway and the NETELLER e-wallet. NETBANX 
allows merchants to accept card and non-card payments through multiple channels 
including online, contact centres, mail order and via automated phone systems. 
The NETELLER e-wallet allows consumers to spend securely online as well as 
allowing merchants to increase customer lifetime value. Net+ cards allow 
merchants to extend customer loyalty and lifetimes. As well as cards, the NEOVIA 
Payment Suite supports online payments direct from consumers' online bank 
accounts. 
 
Dan Starr, Executive Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Products at NEOVIA 
said: "The Net+ card has been an excellent product for our e-wallet customers, 
giving them the flexibility and convenience to access their funds immediately, 
while also addressing any concerns they might have had around security and 
privacy. We are continuing to develop the product and hope to bring further 
innovations to the Net+ card for both merchants and customers in the near 
future." 
 
 
Simon Hull, Managing Director at Conister Bank, commenting on the first 
anniversary said, "The Net+ Prepaid Mastercard has been very successful in its 
first year, as evidenced by the awards received to date. At Conister Bank we are 
committed to adding value as a truly independent BIN sponsor and developing our 
customers' propositions within a stable and reliable regulatory environment."
