Launch of Humorous but Informative "Anti-Green Movement" Is Well Received by Influential Network of Women Bloggers

SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 11, 2011) - BillMyParents (OTCQB: BMPI) (OTCBB: BMPI), leaders in the teen prepaid card space, debuted their new, high-impact marketing campaign -- the Anti-Green Movement -- at the 7^th annual BlogHer conference last weekend at the San Diego convention center. BlogHer attracted 3,600 women bloggers who gathered to attend social media-related sessions, panels and networking events, as well as an Expo where household-name consumer brands promoted their newest products. The launch of the BillMyParents' Anti-Green Movement at BlogHer is part of a comprehensive new marketing campaign that will extend through the end of the year, span multiple consumer channels, and is expected to expose the BillMyParents brand to tens of millions of consumers.

The tongue-in-cheek Anti-Green Movement marketing campaign uses disruptive messages like "green is bad" and "plastic is good" to capture consumers' attention and entertain them, while educating them on the benefits of prepaid cards ("plastic") over cash ("green") for teens. Instead of relying on cash, which can be lost and unaccounted for, BillMyParents offers families the reloadable SpendSmart Card that enables parents to track teen spending in real time via instant alerts, providing opportunities for immediate feedback.

Impactful and well received, campaign execution included a series of simulated protests that took place in and around the convention center, where PAGG (Parents Against Going Green) members denounced cash and chanted slogans "Don't go green! Do go plastic!" and "Can green reduce teen spending? NOPE!" Visitors to the BillMyParents Expo booth cited their interest in the brand was a direct result of the new marketing messages, and daily website visits nearly doubled between the beginning and the end of BlogHer.

"BlogHer '11 was the perfect place and moment in time to launch the Anti-Green Movement," said Evan Jones, vice president of marketing for BillMyParents. "This was an unparalleled opportunity to personally interact with members of this uniquely influential group whose livelihood is based on constant communication and networking -- and many of them are moms. We were able to really stand out, grab attention and then educate attendees about BillMyParents. The response was overwhelmingly positive, and underlined how much need there is for what we do."

A BlogHer '11 Gold level sponsor, BillMyParents also hosted an exclusive luncheon for 100 select bloggers, giving an in-depth look at the brand and new campaign, including a mock-newscast video about the Anti-Green Movement and PAGG. Special luncheon entertainment included guest appearances by Liz Gumbinner and Kristen Chase, founders of CoolMomPicks, and blogosphere stars Eden M. Kennedy and Alice Bradley, for a humorous segment on parenting in the digital age. CoolMomPicks, a popular blog where the two moms track down new family-friendly products, has been featured on The TODAY Show, CBS's The Early Show, and ABC News Now.

With an extended network that reaches over 20 million women each month, BillMyParents identified BlogHer participation as a crucial next step in their major marketing push into the parenting demographic segment this year.

Google Wallet and NFC Smartphones Spark Buzz Around Retail Contactless Technology, Says ABI Research

August 10, 2011 01:20 PM Eastern Daylight Time 

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Recent developments in contactless payment technology are generating renewed interest, and suggest that the long-delayed dream of comprehensive contactless payment systems may finally be approaching reality. The introduction of Google Wallet and the expectation that several new NFC-enabled smartphones will reach consumer markets soon have created a sense of optimism.

“Contactless technology is also in the very early stages of adoption in ATMs: rather than inserting the card, a customer waves it in front of the machine and enters a PIN.”

According to ABI Research, in 2010 only about 10% of total POS terminal shipments included some form of contactless technology. While the analyst firm does not agree with some of the wilder media predictions for contactless POS growth – for example that within 12 months, one third of all terminals in the US will accept contactless payments – it does forecast that 85% of terminals shipped worldwide will be contactless-enabled in 2016, driven by increased proliferation of contactless cards and especially, rapid adoption of NFC-enabled cell phones.

Senior analyst Craig Foster comments, “Contactless has the potential to change the way we pay for goods completely, significantly reducing time spent queuing at the point of sale. It also represents an almost perfect fit for the vending industry, because:

• The increased speed and simplicity of check-out go hand-in-hand with the very essence of the vending machine – to provide goods quickly and conveniently;
• The fact that small-value transactions – typically under $25 in the US – do not need to be authenticated by signature or PIN entry is very appealing to vending machine operators.”

M2M practice director Sam Lucero adds, “Contactless technology is also in the very early stages of adoption in ATMs: rather than inserting the card, a customer waves it in front of the machine and enters a PIN.”

Ingenico, VeriFone, and Hypercom are the three leading vendors of POS terminals and command most of the market. VeriFone recently completed the acquisition of Hypercom after satisfying the antitrust concerns of the US Department of Justice. Contactless terminals have formed an increasingly significant part of Ingenico’s portfolio in recent years, accounting for a claimed 21% of the company’s shipments in 2010.

ABI Research’s “Cellular-enabled POS Terminals, ATMs, and Vending Machines” study (http://www.abiresearch.com/research/1003592) examines the overall market opportunity for each segment, with a particular focus on value chains, competitive landscapes, market adoption drivers and inhibitors, and technology issues.

ROAM Data Says it Squarely Holds Number One Market Position for Mobile Card Readers

August 10, 2011 12:37 PM Eastern Daylight Time 

ROAM Data Takes Number One Market Position for Secure Mobile Phone Card Reader Solutions

Has shipped 300,000 encrypted readers that prevent card fraud demonstrated at the Blackhat security conference last week.  (Editor's Translation: Our system is better than Square's)

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ROAM Data, the leading mCommerce platform provider that extends both physical POS and eCommerce to the mobile environment, today announced that it has become the #1 provider of secure mobile phone card readers in the world.

“ROAM’s entire system was designed with PCI security from the start”

ROAM Data has sold approximately 300,000 secure readers to leading merchant service providers (MSPs), making ROAM the largest supplier of encrypted mobile card readers by an order of magnitude. It expects to have shipped over 1 million units by this time next year. The reason for ROAM’s success is in part due to its patent pending hardware and software design that make it easy for MSPs to deliver secure mobile POS solutions to merchants quickly and cost effectively. ROAM’s mobile readers prevent card fraud that normally plague other unencrypted reader solutions, the readers also provide a more robust read rate and are compatible with the largest number of mobile devices in the industry.

“ROAM’s entire system was designed with PCI security from the start,” said Will Graylin, CEO of ROAM Data. “The two hacks demonstrated on Square’s solution at the Blackhat conference last week would not work on ROAM’s solutions, because ROAM’s readers fully encrypt the track data before it reaches the phone and the data can only be decrypted by a secure payment server, never exposed on the phone. By design neither ROAM’s app nor server would recognize third party audio signals from recorded files. ROAM had the security foresight to design our solutions to protect our customers and partners against these types of card fraud.”

According to Mr. Graylin, “some may deflect this problem as a general mag-stripe issue, and some have argued for chip cards or other more secure means to be implemented. The reality is that, for a variety of reasons, mag stripes in our wallets will be around for a long time to come, (we have not even gotten rid of cash yet after decades of trying). Therefore, those providing payment services with mag stripe have a serious responsibility to make their services as secure as they possibly can. ROAM has taken the steps to do so, and will continue to innovate and lead on providing secure solutions, be they mag stripe, EMV or NFC. For a deeper comparison of ROAM vs. Square readers, see our blog atblog.roamdata.com with photos of the internals of each reader along with a head to head comparison.”

ROAM’s team has years of experience delivering mobile phone POS solutions to market, and ROAM owns or has licensed a number of granted and pending patents in this space, including exclusive rights to certain IP that are critical for development of these readers.

ROAM Data further provides a full turnkey software solution that can be branded for its MSP partners, from app to provisioning to support portal. ROAM also provides a set of APIs and tools that allow developers to build their own apps using ROAM’s secure reader and mCommerce infrastructure that is tied to the vast majority of payment providers in the country.
