BRISTOL, England, January 19 - Leading card payment solutions provider CreditCall has been awarded one
of the parking industry's most demanding, high-value contracts. With the
service set live on January 11, the firm has begun processing all long-term,
short-term and business car parking payments for Apcoa at BAA Heathrow
Airport (Terminals 1 to 5) - the hub of the aviation world.

Flying to over 180 destinations in over 90 countries, 66.9 million
passengers travel to and from BAA Heathrow Airport every year.

Apcoa, the market leader in airport parking, won the high-volume contract
and chose long-term partners CreditCall to process the 3 million card
transactions it anticipates for 2010. With cards being the predominant
payment method for parking at BAA Heathrow, it is the highest annual revenue
and transaction volume Pay-on-Foot scheme anywhere in the UK.

Having worked closely with Apcoa for over a decade providing an ultra
reliable and secure card payment processing service, the BAA Heathrow project
is one of CreditCall's more challenging and complex installations.

The firm has installed 12 separate servers across the car park sites, in
a dual redundant configuration. The servers pass transaction information from
SKIDATA(TM) on-airport paystations to the CreditCall global processing
network. The newer paystations at Terminal 5 use full Chip and PIN
authentication for every transaction.

Daniel Barnard, Financial Operations Manager, at Apcoa, said: "With
CreditCall's fast, secure and reliable card payment processing solution,
we're even more confident of delivering a totally dependable service to BAA
Heathrow - fulfilling all requirements for service availability laid down by
the Airport Operator. Motorists will benefit by having a card payment service
that accepts all major credit and debit cards, for the ultimate in speed and
ease at the end of a long journey."

"CreditCall's ability to deliver an implementation and transition from
the previous service provider was impeccable and demonstrated that they have
the capability to ensure a smooth changeover with minimum disruption to the
service."

Designed specifically to provide the best payment service for mobile and
unattended terminal operators, CreditCall's processing network is continually
monitored for security and reliability, and to optimise performance. This
combination has made CreditCall the PSP (Payment Service Provider) of choice
for the parking industry in the UK and US and increasingly in Europe.

The solution rigorously safeguards all card details and client funds
passing through its servers - giving drivers total peace of mind and ensuring
the service just keeps running.
