RTG Ventures Announces Joint Venture With International Financial Systems Ltd

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - April 19, 2010) -  RTGV (OTCBB: RTGV): RTG Ventures has announced a joint venture (JV) with London-based International Financial Systems Limited (IFS) that will develop and roll out the iPayu mobile payments technology. The joint venture will officially launch on May 31^st and will combine the technical, banking and payments expertise of IFS with the sales, marketing and operations muscle of RTG Ventures.



IFS invented the iPayu platform and RTG Ventures had an existing agreement to license the technology to roll out and embed into its portfolio of products. This agreement sees both sides making a larger commitment to support continuing development of the intellectual property rights and enables the new joint venture to exploit opportunities faster.

Dominic Hawes-Fairley, President of RTG Ventures, said: "This is a really important development and will ensure that we can bring much more competitive and robust products to market. While we would have been able to operate just fine under the old licensing agreement, we were really keen to tie in the visionary technical and professional ability of the team at International Financial Systems and there's no better way of doing that than working on it as a joint project. This deal expands our capability and really adds weight to our ability to deliver.

"We have a clear road map for rolling out the technology and we've got a strategy that sees the JV earning revenues as fast as possible. We believe this technology has the power to change the way that many people exchange value and now that we're developing the solution in tandem with the inventors, we can ensure that our products are that much more compelling."

International Financial Systems was formed in 1979 and for more than two decades has specialized in providing software solutions, services and equipment to Wholesale Banks, Retail Banks, Internet Banks, Community Banks, Credit Unions and financial institutions of all types worldwide. With a customer list of over 100 banks ranging from the very largest to the very smallest, its modern banking software reflects the diversity of its customer base and is available in a range of configurations to suit the needs of customers of all sizes. IFS provide Core Banking, Internet banking, Mobile Phone Banking and Compliance solutions.

RTG Ventures is pleased to introduce the key executives at IFS who will be driving the iPayu JV.
