Former Newcastle Card Services COO Kriya Patel to Lead New Office in Talent-Rich North East England

GIBRALTAR, August 3, 2010 - Transact Network, the European e-money issuer, BIN sponsor and prepaid
card provider, announced today that Mr Kriya Patel is joining the group as
sales director and will spearhead the company's new UK sales and marketing
company based in Newcastle. Mr Patel was most recently chief operating
officer at Newcastle Card Solutions (NCS). He will start at Transact Network
on September 6.

Mr Patel's experience in the prepaid card industry has contributed to the
success of NCS, which has grown to more than US$1.6 billion in transaction
value processed in 2009 with more than 1.25 million active cards put in
circulation by the end of 2009. NCS has acquired more than 300 new programs
since 2005.

Newly appointed Chief Executive Officer Colin Greaves said: "Kriya's
experience at NCS made him our number one candidate to lead this sales and
support operation. Our business case for Kriya and his team being based in
the North East of England is primarily due to abundance of talented sales and
support staff there with highly developed prepaid card experience."

Mr Patel's move to Transact Network is the second senior appointment
announced recently by the Gibraltar-based company. In May, Transact Network
appointed Mr Greaves as chief executive officer after he had served as
operations director at Newcastle Building Society.

Mr Greaves started in his new role on August 1.

Messrs Greaves and Patel join the company at a key moment in the history
of the E-money issuer and modular prepaid card services provider. The company
is poised for explosive growth as its electronic money license has been
successfully passported into every EU and EEA member state enabling the
issuance of prepaid card programs across Europe. The company's unique local
and corporate loading capabilities also give it real competitive advantage.

Mr Greaves added: "The opening of our UK Subsidiary is a significant step
for Transact Network as our research shows that there is a need for a
committed, high-quality provider with a sales and support operation within
the United Kingdom following recent strategic changes in the prepaid and
debit market."
