FINANCIAL SERVICES
VelocityMoney Financial Services Portal
The VelocityMoney Financial portal has reached a new pinnacle of service and ease-of use. SMKG has included 4 products and 15 services under one comprehensive web application for Individuals, Businesses and Merchants. In the fourth quarter of 2009 (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) added its proprietary VelocityMoney consumer financial portal to the VelocityMerchant commercial financial management portal. Together they form a complete platform for consumers and merchants to move money, manage their stored-value debit cards, transfer money between international bank accounts in 16 different currencies and make online purchases from participating merchants. The online system allows consumers and merchants to send, collect and manage money online internationally in 19 different currencies.
Products:
Stored Value Cards – Globally-branded Open-Loop Prepaid Debit Cards
One of the most exciting new products to which (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) has acquired the distribution rights is International Stored-Value Debit Cards. These products are in high demand within the niche populations of a) those with no bank account, b) those who want to transfer money to relatives in remote locations bypassing more expensive transfer companies like Western Union, c) companies who want to put all employees, including unbanked employees, on payroll direct deposit, and d) immigrants who are trying to get financially established in their new country. Each card sale represents an average of $40 and $60 per year in residual transaction revenue.
VelocityMoney Prepaid Debit and Gift Card Program - US
(PINKSHEETS:SMKG) has marketing rights to branded Debit cards and Gift Cards under license, processed and managed by its US financial issuer. After doing a thorough market search, management has determined this to be a very unique opportunity to create revenue both through sale of the cards, and, more importantly, through recurring monthly residuals from transactions performed by cardholders.
Canadian Distribution
(PINKSHEETS:SMKG) has distribution rights to a prepaid Debit MasterCard Issued by a Canadian financial issuer. It is one of a few such cards in Canada that can be issued to an individual who does not have a bank account. This represents a huge opportunity to sell cards into a market that has little to no competition. Through its Canadian development office, (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) has significant sales opportunities to recruit resellers of its cards through transaction-based financial service providers such as bankruptcy-asset distribution trustees, check cashing establishments, payroll companies and as a funds distribution mechanism for investment houses and travel companies.
Loading Network
Green Dot Network – One of the biggest obstacles in the debit card business is getting money onto the cardholder’s card. (PINKSHEETS:SMKG) has a contract solution that gives it an advantage in the current marketplace. This solution is the Green Dot Deposit Network.
The Green Dot Financial Network allows cardholders to add cash onto their VelocityMoney cards at tens of thousands of retail locations nationwide including Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS/pharmacy, RadioShack and WalMart.
ONLINE PIN DEBIT PROCESSING
HomeATM Payment Processing
SMKG integrated the HomeATM PIN terminal to its free Internet-based payment platform, VelocityMoney.com. The terminal plugs into the USB port on a computer with Internet access and a free VelocityMoney.com account. With no more set-up than that, the business can accept any bank's PIN-based debit card for payment. The transaction is basically treated as a cash transaction or ATM withdrawal by the bank...no charge-backs and no reserves.
SMKG receives 1% on payments processed.
MERCHANT PROCESSING
Credit Card Processing
SMKG has written an interface that allows merchants who need to process credit or debit cards remotely to use their mobile devices, such as cell phone or wi-fi to process payments and print out a receipt for the customer. The VelocityMoney Bluetooth Printer has a built-in credit card swipe/reader and thermal printer. It can be used alone or in conjunction with the HomeATM device to process credit and debit cards remotely and securely while printing out receipts for signature capture.
