Growth Through Innovation: MasterCard Unveils the Future Of Payments in a Cashless Society



NEW YORK--()--At a gathering in New York City, MasterCard (NYSE: MA) showcased an array of products and services demonstrating ways in which the company uses technology and innovation to grow its business, diversify across geographies and customers, and build new business. By driving growth through innovation, MasterCard is advancing commerce to the benefit of governments, businesses, merchants and consumers around the globe.
“As people - whether for business, personal or pleasure - continue to seek simple, more secure and smarter methods of payment, MasterCard is providing a sophisticated set of products and services to make day-to-day commerce easier”
“As people - whether for business, personal or pleasure - continue to seek simple, more secure and smarter methods of payment, MasterCard is providing a sophisticated set of products and services to make day-to-day commerce easier,” saidGary Flood, President, Global Products and Solutions at MasterCard. “From major cities to emerging markets, we are committed to advancing the evolution of digital payments technologies that strike the right balance between the wants and needs of all parties, and importantly, delivers the best consumer experience.”
MasterCard highlighted four key areas where Growth Through Innovation is fundamental to the future of electronic payments
  • Expanding Reach: Providing tools necessary for governments and merchants to ensure that all citizens worldwide are able to participate in the global economy. Some examples from MasterCard include:
    • South Africa using electronic payments to distribute Social Security benefits;
    • The Wanda Joint Venture in Latin America, allowing consumers to use mobile money solutions through a basic flip phone to pay merchants at the point-of-sale;
    • Accepting payments through mobile point-of-sale (MPOS) devices such as iZettleSquare, etc; and,
  • Transforming the Shopping Experience: Evolving the shopping experience by creating experiences that exceed consumer and merchant needs and expectations. Some examples include:
    • Highlighting PayPass Wallet Services across an array of devices – from laptops to smartphones to TVs;
    • How merchants will be able to accept PayPass Wallet Services payments at a brick and mortar location;
  • Experiences Beyond Payments: Developing new ways to enhance the consumer experience beyond payments. Some new ways MasterCard is doing this include:
  • Leveraging the Power of Technology: At the heart of all this innovation are the MasterCard Network and Advisors services - delivering safe, simple and smart payment solutions.
These new and innovative products and solutions continue the ideal that paying is no longer a one-way transaction. MasterCard is enabling consumers and merchants to engage in a dialogue that allows both parties to share information and help provide new value.

MINNEAPOLIS & VANCOUVER, British Columbia--()--Digital River, Inc. (NASDAQ: DRIV), the revenue growth experts in global cloud commerce, and LML Payment Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: LMLP), a leading provider of electronic payment processing, risk management and authentication services, announced the signing of a definitive agreement whereby Digital River will acquire LML Payment Systems Inc. in an all cash transaction valued at U.S. $3.45 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of approximately U.S. $102.8 million.
“This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding our Digital River World Payments solution and continuing to diversify our global commerce business across multiple vertical markets”
The acquisition joins two complementary card-not-present payments businesses, positioning Digital River to further capitalize on its global success in online payment processing. Digital River has traditionally focused on online payment processing for enterprise and mid-sized merchants. LML Payment Systems processes online payments for more than 14,000 small to mid-sized merchants. The combination will enable Digital River to broaden its online payment services to businesses of all sizes. Collectively, the companies will handle more than $20 billion in online transactions for tens of thousands of companies across a broad range of industries, including software, consumer electronics, government, utilities, event registration and mobile payments.
Digital River intends to leverage LML Payment Systems’ proven ecosystem of banking, merchant, reseller and developer relationships to not only expand its Digital River World Payments solution, but also extend LML Payment Systems’ white-label channel solution and mobile payments solution. At the same time, LML Payment Systems intends to access Digital River’s broad portfolio of global payment methods to offer its clients a wider selection of international payment options and more opportunities to expand their online businesses worldwide.
“This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding our Digital River World Payments solution and continuing to diversify our global commerce business across multiple vertical markets,” said Joel Ronning, Digital River’s CEO. “Each company has a strong reputation in the online payments market, robust platform and deep expertise in card-not-present processing. Our joint technologies and expert resources will create even more value for our combined client bases – helping them reduce time to market and providing access to new payments technologies and geographies.”
Under the terms of the agreement, LML Payment Systems shareholders will receive U.S. $3.45 per share in cash consideration (the “Consideration”) and all options and warrants will be acquired for cash consideration equal to the Consideration less the exercise price of such option or warrant. The acquisition has been approved by the boards of directors of both companies and is to be completed through a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The closing of the transaction is subject to approval of two-thirds of the LML shareholder votes cast. The transaction is subject to satisfaction of other customary terms and conditions and is expected to close during the fourth quarter in 2012 or the first quarter in 2013. The acquisition is expected to be accretive to Digital River’s earnings in its 2013 fiscal year.
“LML Payment Systems has built a highly-regarded payments business over the last 12 years and we believe the transaction with Digital River is in the best interests of our clients, shareholders and employees. In addition, it will deliver increased value to our channel partners and merchants as we enhance both companies’ product roadmaps,” said Craig Thomson, president of LML Payment Systems. “Digital River has earned a reputation as a global e-commerce leader, providing online payment services and helping companies grow their online businesses in international markets for more than 15 years. They share our commitment to the online payments market and to backing our clients with innovative new products as well as proven solutions for entering emerging geographies.”

U.S. Transit Agencies Gather in Philadelphia for Smart Card Alliance Forum on New Fare Collection Technology



PRINCETON JUNCTION, N.J., SEPTEMBER 24, 2012 – New fare collection systems that accept open bank card payments are successfully moving forward, transit agencies reported at last week’s in-person Smart Card Alliance Transportation Council meeting in Philadelphia. The Transportation Council is a diverse group of Smart Card Alliance member organizations representing transit agencies, fare payments technologies, fare collection system integrators, and financial organizations.

“The meeting brought together transit agencies of all sizes – some in the midst of implementation, others in planning stages – to discuss and collaborate on strategies and best practices for deploying new smart card-based fare collection systems,” said Randy Vanderhoof, executive director of the Smart Card Alliance. “Based on the many new initiatives we heard about at the meeting, it is clear that transit agencies are dedicated to providing a better overall experience for customers through faster and more convenient open payments, better customer service, and enhanced information for riders.”

During the two-day meeting, small, medium and large transportation agencies discussed strategies for accepting open bank card payments for public transportation, challenges and opportunities for commuter rail, best practices for transit business and technical architectures, financial industry technologies and directions that affect fare collection, and the impact of new fare collection systems on fare policy. Transit agencies from all over the United States were represented, including from Atlanta, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Washington DC, and from the states of Florida, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Utah.

“We are extremely pleased with the variety of transit agency colleagues that came to the meeting, and I believe they came away with a deeper understanding of the implementation steps required to take advantage of new technologies like open payment and mobile ticketing, as well as the benefits these new systems can provide for both the agency and the customer,” said Craig Roberts, Utah Transit Authority and chair of the Transportation Council.

At the close of the first day, attendees had the opportunity to see open fare payment in action during a tour of the Port Authority Transit Corporation’s (PATCO’s) Wave-and-Pay ANYWHERE Visa Prepaid Card trial location, as well as the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) Operations Center. SEPTA is one of the first transit agencies deploying an open fare payment system.

For more information on transit open payments, the Smart Card Alliance Transit Open Payment Resources webpage contains up-to-date information on North American transit programs implementing open contactless payments. The page includes descriptions of transit programs and reference documents, the library of Smart Card Alliance transit resources, and a slideshow that explains the basics of open transit payment technology.

About the Smart Card Alliance Transportation Council

The Smart Card Alliance Transportation Council is focused on promoting the adoption of interoperable contactless smart card payment systems for transit and other transportation services. The Council is engaged in projects that support applications of smart card use. The overall goal of the Transportation Council is to help accelerate the deployment of standards-based smart card payment programs within the transportation industry.

About the Smart Card Alliance

The Smart Card Alliance is a not-for-profit, multi-industry association working to stimulate the understanding, adoption, use and widespread application of smart card technology.

Through specific projects such as education programs, market research, advocacy, industry relations and open forums, the Alliance keeps its members connected to industry leaders and innovative thought. The Alliance is the single industry voice for smart cards, leading industry discussion on the impact and value of smart cards in the U.S. and Latin America.
