MASTERCARD SPENDINGPULSE™ FOR SMALL BUSINESS REPORT SHOWS GROWTH FOR SMALL RETAILERS SLOWS TO 5.6% IN SEPTEMBER


Small Retailers Still Outperforming Total Retail Sales Year-to-Date, Year-over-Year

To tweet this news, copy and paste  http://bit.ly/THXRYqinto twitter with the hash tag #SpendingPulse
 PURCHASE, N.Y., and SAN FRANCISCO - [October 15, 2012] - A SpendingPulse™ report released today by MasterCard Advisors, the professional services arm of MasterCard(NYSE:MA)  in partnership with Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC), America's  leading small business lender, found that spending at small retailers in September increased 5.6% year over year, down from a 6.8% growth rate in August. While this was the slowest year-over-year growth rate for 2012, smaller retailers were still ahead of overall U.S. retail growth by 1.5%.
The September report also found that when gasoline sales are removed, the year-over-year sales growth rate fell to 5.2%.  Michael McNamara, Global Solutions Leader, MasterCard SpendingPulse, said, "The slower pace of sales at small retailers is consistent with overall U.S. retail sales. We should also consider that the smaller retailers are beginning to have more difficult comparisons with 2011 than the larger retailers. For example, small retailers experienced growth rates over 9% in Q4 2011.  This creates a difficult comparisons environment during the holiday season."
Marc Bernstein, head of Small Business for Wells Fargo added, "While it's clear that sales for smaller retailers are growing at a slower rate from earlier in the year, the increase in year-over-year sales trends points to an improving environment for many small businesses,

VeriFone Announces Expansion of SAIL Platform to International Markets


Largest Card Issuer in Israel to Distribute and Process Payments Utilizing Open SAIL Platform
SAN JOSE, Calif.--()--VeriFone Systems, Inc. (NYSE: PAY), today announced an international expansion of the SAIL mobile payments platform with an agreement with Israel’s largest card issuer and acquirer, Isracard Ltd., to distribute SAIL encrypted card readers for iOS and Android devices and to bring smartphone based mobile payments to merchants in Israel.
“VeriFone has developed a complete open platform with SAIL that provides us with easy enrollment and processing tools to deliver secure, comprehensive and easy to use mobile payments to individuals and merchants”
Isracard will market a customized SAIL solution to a market targeting tens of thousands of small businesses that currently do not accept credit cards, including its own credit card holders. With over 45% market share, Isracard will offer the solution to its own credit cards holders, SOHO merchants and individual professionals in Israel.
“VeriFone has developed a complete open platform with SAIL that provides us with easy enrollment and processing tools to deliver secure, comprehensive and easy to use mobile payments to individuals and merchants,” said Ron Weksler, VP Commerce Development & Sales, Isracard.
VeriFone's unique mobile payments solution allows for rapid expansion and adoption through international partners. The open and flexible nature of SAIL makes the solution uniquely compatible with mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones.
“This is a step in the international deployment of the SAIL Platform,” said Bulent Ozayaz, VeriFone senior vice president, Southeast Europe & Russia. “As the leading issuer and acquirer in Israel, Isracard is the natural partner to deliver the benefits of SAIL mobile payments to business owners and merchants who can now take advantage of an easy and secure way to accept payments wherever business takes them.”
Isracard customers using iOS or Android devices will receive a free mobile app and card reader that securely encrypts card data with each transaction. Unlike other mobile payments offerings, SAIL is an open platform that enables VeriFone partners to build their own payment or marketing solutions on top of VeriFone’s secure infrastructure.
