CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.--(Business Wire)--
TransCard (www.transcard.com)-a leading provider of prepaid debit card solutions
branded with MasterCard, Discover Network and STAR associations-has launched the
PULSE network, providing all cardholders with more places to use their cards.

The PULSE ATM/debit network is comprised of more than 289,000 ATMs and
point-of-sale terminals, and is used by more than 4,500 financial
institutions-including banks and credit unions-across the United States.

"Adding a new PIN POS network will increase the scope of card acceptance and
cardholder use," says Jerry Uffner, TransCard`s President. "We are always
working to improve our products, give cardholders more ways to use their cards
and, ultimately, provide more cardholder value."

PULSE is owned by Discover Financial Services-offering a comprehensive suite of
payment solutions, including PIN-less bill payment, PIN and signature debit
products, credit products, stored-value card programs and, of course, ATM
network services.

"Our relationship with Discover Network continues to provide benefits for all of
our cardholders-with PULSE being the most recent manifestation of those
benefits," says Craig Fuller, CEO of TransCard. "We look forward to continued
product enhancements that make our cardholders` lives easier and less
stressful."
