Direct Debit Limited Adds WorldPay Card Processing Module to PayCentre

LONDON, February 14, 2011 - Direct Debit Limited, the payments-management software
provider, today announced its partnership with WorldPay, a leading payment
service provider for online transactions. The deal enables WorldPay and
Direct Debit Limited customers to benefit from a single comprehensive
payments platform and make and collect numerous payment types, including
credit and debit card, Direct Debit, SEPA and Faster Payments, through one
system.

As a result of the partnership, Direct Debit Limited has added
a module that processes card payments to its PayCentre payments-management
platform. Available now, the module processes one-off or recurring payments
via WorldPay's Corporate Gateway. The technology helps businesses slash costs
associated with hosting multiple systems, minimises the need for staff
training and provides users with a single point of access to information on
all their customer payments.

Gabriel Hopkins, Head of eCommerce Products at WorldPay, said:
"Through this partnership we've created a combined solution which meets the
requirements of customers with a range of payments and collections needs. We
are now able to offer our mutual customers a rich service that capitalises on
the strengths of both WorldPay and PayCentre."

The new module created by WorldPay and Direct Debit Limited
streamlines payments processes and provides a comprehensive view of card and
non-card transactions. Combined with other reports from PayCentre, such as
those generated by the Direct Debit and Faster Payments modules, it offers a
complete overview of cash flow. Employees no longer need to enter data into
different systems, which saves time and reduces data-entry errors. Companies
can also take initial payments by card and then set up Direct Debit plans for
ongoing payments, which gives customers more options and increases customer
retention.

Paul Conway, Sales Director at Direct Debit Limited said: "The
partnership with WorldPay is part of our strategic vision to work with high
calibre partners and provide the best service to our customers. Now, Direct
Debit Limited and WorldPay customers can take advantage of a single interface
for all payments propositions."

He added: "We have seen a significant initial take up of the
credit card processing module, including several large businesses and a
number of SMEs and we look forward to building on this success in 2011."
