GENEVA, Nov. 9, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Specialized in GSM telecommunications
and secure payment solutions, the Paymotech Group announced the launch of the
first mobile wallet covering the entire world, "PayToo Mobile."

After four years in development through its two divisions, Yackie Telecom and
PayToo, the Paymotech Group presented the unveiling of its worldwide platform.

PayToo Mobile is the first GSM mobile wallet which brings together a complete
telecommunication and mobile payment solution, making use all the while, of a
single balance. The Paymotech Group has thus revolutionized the way to
communicate, exchange money or make payments, thanks to its mobile wallet.

Your telephone becomes your wallet

This solution integrates, for the first time, all telecommunication and payment
services which are presently available on the market: SIM card without roaming
charges, VOIP account, calling card, additional numbers attached to the account
in more than 35 countries ... and financial services providing for the transfer
of credit all around the world, to pay on line or pay stores directly using
several means: bank card, bar code, secure SMS, vocal server or even payment
sticker without contact (NFC).

All these services share a single, unified balance (total of available credits
prepaid by the user). This credit is then available for calls, payments,
transfers and withdrawals anywhere in the world, in real time and securely.

Unique advantages on the market

This worldwide innovation will allow the targeted market of "roamers," travelers
and people without bank accounts to take advantage of a service which will allow
them to save up to 80% on phone calls and financial services. Moreover, PayToo
Mobile has the benefit of the world's widest distribution network and is
available in more than 200 countries, thanks to more than 450 roaming agreements
and over 400,000 recharging stations.

 -- Among the lowest prices for telephone calls on the market

 -- The widest network coverage without roaming fees with more than 200
    countries

 -- SIM card and VoIP convergence (telephony account via the internet)

 -- A mobile wallet usable in the entire world

Millions of potential users: "roamers," people without bank accounts,
storekeepers

PayToo Mobile will both change roamers' and travelers' ways of communicating
throughout the world and the way in which millions of people will transfer their
money and capital via their cell phone, the web or in person. For example,
currently, many storekeepers do not have the means to make use of a financial
organization to accept electronic payments, as well as credit cards. PayToo
Mobile is the missing link: storekeepers will be able to accept payments
anywhere and at any time.

A proven technology for unique functionalities

By responding to market need on the basis of a reliable technological framework
and a solid business model, the Paymotech Group offers a unique service which
does not currently have any equal. Paymotech has done significant research in
order to respond to a real market need, in order to supply consumers and
professionals with a payment solution, which includes the most recent
technologies available.

Paytoo is also the only telephony solution that is combined with financial
services which uses a common number. This patented technology allows one to have
credit by means of a direct call to the person's mobile wallet.

Michel Poignant, CEO of the Paymotech Group, states that: "Today, we are
delighted to present the fruit of our research 'PayToo Mobile,' the number one
telephony solution, integrating low-cost financial services. This solution will
cater to group of pre-paid users around the world who do not necessarily have
access to payment and transfer solutions which fit in with their pricing
requirements. Our approach was to develop a technology on the basis of the
demand and not the contrary." He added that: "I think that with this innovation,
we have come as close as possible to the equitable savings which are required to
build durable economies."

Already on the market in the United States, Australia and Asia, the Group will
reinforce its European presence with the opening of its French subsidiary.
