ATLANTA, GA -- 11/09/09 --
TRUSTCASH HOLDINGS, INC. ("TRUSTCASH")
(PINKSHEETS: TCHH) today announces it has received the business case
evaluation and technology strategy from Ajay Hans supporting the decision
to enter Mobile Payment Market.
Amongst other things Mr. Hans recommends Trustcash develop a WAP based
solution which uses wireless communication to access information,
particularly internet content, from a mobile device. Payments will be made
directly on a website or by downloading a mobile payment application.
Purchases will occur in the same manner as traditional online purchases
with no additional billing support required from the mobile Telco.
The use of the mobile phone is the next significant step in the evolution
in the payments industry -- representing another growth opportunity for
Trustcash.
MOBILE PAYMENTS MARKET SIZE
The world wide market size for mobile payments is estimated at 860 Billion
by 2013 (see link below)
(http://futurebanking.bankofamerica.com/mobile-payments-860-billion-2013_886)
With approximately 230 million mobile subscribers in the United States
(over 70 percent of the U.S. population), mobile payments are on the
horizon of the payment industry.
In a recent survey conducted by Visa USA of 800 consumers, 77 percent of
respondents admitted that it would be difficult to get through a single day
without their mobile phones, and more than 50 percent preferred to have
more electronic payment options so they do not have to carry cash.
According to the study, survey respondents are twice as likely to carry
their mobile phones, than cash, with the 18 to 34 year old age group four
times more likely to carry mobile phones.
Management comments, "With a clear technology plan in hand we feel the next
step is to find a Beta partner to develop our mobile solution with. Our
mobile solution should open the door to more growth."
