            Functionality and a Secure Integration Platform
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
VeriFone Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: PAY) today announced PAYware PC,
the next generation of its popular PCCharge payment processing
solution for standalone or integrated environments. PAYware PC
provides end-to-end payment processing and customer management
capabilities for small-to-medium-sized merchants of all types and a
simple, yet highly-secure integration platform for developers.

   PAYware PC features a sophisticated, streamlined user interface
inspired by the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Colorful icons and
dynamic menu screens provide easy access to all features and functions
so users can quickly perform any task. Most tasks, such as settlement,
contract processing, report generation, database backup and update
download, can be performed automatically.

   The solution offers developers a simpler and more secure
integration, writing to a single API, and PAYware PC's Device Manager
manages all interactions with payment devices and peripherals,
simplifying integration for developers. PAYware PC can handle
transactions in multiple formats and supports all electronic payment
types.

   "PAYware PC is a powerful, secure and easy-to-use solution
out-of-the-box, but it also provides developers with a powerful
platform for value-added applications," said Paul Rasori, VeriFone
vice president of global product marketing. "It builds on the heritage
of PCCharge, which has been integrated into more than 700 POS systems
and deployed to more than 150,000 installations, and was designed to
support the evolution of Microsoft Windows."

   As a PABP-validated system, PAYware PC will help merchants achieve
PCI DSS compliance. Built-in security safeguards shield and protect
sensitive customer data. And administrator-level menu settings provide
absolute control over database access and prevent misuse by
eliminating any function from a worker's personalized interface.
Advanced fraud protections help reduce the cost of card-not-present
transactions and lower the risk of chargebacks.

   Available immediately, PAYware PC is ideal for a wide variety of
small-to-medium-sized brick-and-mortar retailers and restaurateurs, as
well as e-commerce, mail-order/telephone order (MOTO) and B2B
merchants. PAYware PC works with all versions of Microsoft Windows
Vista as well as Windows XP Professional and Windows 2003 Server
Edition.
