LAS VEGAS, NV -- 11/03/09 --
Xcellink International Inc. (OTCBB: XCEL), a
developer of patented mobile payments and banking platforms, and MyECheck
Inc. (OTCBB: MYEC), an electronic transaction processor and provider of
alternative payment solutions, are pleased to announce that they have
signed a letter of intent whereby MyECheck will be providing its patented
Check 21 Electronic Payment Processing to Xcellink.
Under the terms of the agreement, MyECheck's patented software will be
integrated into Xcellink's mobile payment application, providing Xcellink
with the ability to process mobile payments using the Check 21 electronic
check system.
MyECheck utilizes a proprietary, patented method of creating and clearing
remotely created checks (RCCs) for exceedingly fast, secure and convenient
payments. MyECheck requires no physical check from the payor or payee for
processing. It generates electronic checks that adhere to the Check 21
specifications and transfers them for further processing to banks or
directly to the check clearing system.
MyECheck does not utilize the ACH network and although ACH represents a
large portion of electronic payments, most ACH payments start out as checks
and are converted to ACH. With MyECheck, those items no longer need to be
converted, can be processed as images and will clear faster, have higher
clearing rates and fewer returns. MyECheck processed payments are also not
subject to NACHA regulations, rules, fees and fines, giving MyECheck a
competitive advantage.
ABI Research estimates only about 400,000 mobile banking users existed in
2007, a figure that skyrocketed to 3.1 million in 2008. In 2009, the
numbers of subscribers will more than double, hitting the 7 million mark.
Beccue's long-term estimate: 32 million by 2013.
And the value of remote mobile payment by smart phones is set to reach $389
million in 2009, rising rapidly to $8.6 billion by 2014, according to
forecasts from Mercator Advisory Group.
