ConSyGen's Australian Partner Announces Former Premier and Treasurer of New South Wales as
New Advisory Board Member
SYDNEY, Australia, Apr 14, 2000 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Notremos
Corporation Pty Ltd announced today that the Hon Nick Greiner AC has agreed to
join Notremos' Advisory Board.
Notremos' Chairman and Chief executive Rick Somerton said, "We are all extremely
excited to have someone of the calibre of Mr. Greiner agree to help us achieve
our goals. We have a number of exciting internet projects under development
including the MyBizPay(TM) payments system which we think is the killer
application of the WAP and Financial Services market. Nick's experience in both
the old and new economies will be invaluable as we move rapidly forward."
Nick Greiner commented, "I was pleased to be invited to join the advisory board.
Notremos' approach to taking proven international business models and applying
them here makes a great deal of sense. I think they have an opportunity to build
a large and exciting business." Mr. Greiner is Chairman of leading e-trader
dStore (www.dstore.com.au) and leading Internet advertising company BMCMedia, as
well as other public and private companies.
On March 25, 2000 Notremos and ConSyGen Inc., Phoenix, Arizona announced that
after substantial discussions the two companies had agreed on a strategy for the
introduction of ConSyGen's proprietary software BizPay(TM) to the Australian
market. The companies have agreed to pursue a joint venture in regards to the
BizPay(TM) rollout in Australia and to cooperate on further international
implementations. The companies intend to deploy a complete Internet based
payment system in Australia this summer.
"We are very happy to see Mr. Greiner join Notremos. This is exactly the reason
ConSyGen sees value in Notremos," said Jason Genet ConSyGen's Executive Vice
President and Chief Operating Officer. Genet went on to say, "We feel BizPay(TM)
and it's product suite will set new standards for the way commerce is conducted
on the Web and 'Brick and Mortar World' proving ConSyGen is an E-Commerce
leader."
BizPay(TM) will provide a secure Person-to-Person (P2P) and Business to Consumer
(B2C) payment mechanism and, in the future Business to Business (B2B), which
will be available to over 6 million current Australian Internet users and
merchants. Consumers will now be secure in knowing that it is not necessary to
disclose their credit card information on the Internet for purchases or
payments.
Merchants will benefit from the increased confidence consumers will have in
online transactions. BizPay(TM) will enable merchants to accept credit car0.d
payments without having a credit card merchant account. Historically, anyone
with a credit card or debit card was able to participate on the payment side of
a transaction, but not necessarily on the acceptance side of a transaction. With
ConSyGen's BizPay(TM) software solution merchants and individuals can now accept
any form of electronic payment without having a traditional merchant credit card
account. This solution opens the door for full participation in Internet
Commerce for both consumer and merchant. BizPayMobile(TM), which will use WAP
and Bluetooth(TM) standards and technology, will be released later this year.
BizPayMobile(TM) will allow consumers as well as merchant to conduct commerce on
wireless devices such as mobile phones and Personal Digital Assistants (PDA). At
the time, ConSyGen's Vice President of Business Development, John Roskelley,
stated, "What will make BizPayMobile(TM) a very unique product is that it's not
only a consumer payment solution, but it will also be a merchant payment
acceptance solution. More and more merchants will be wireless device enabled in
their stores, moving transactions away from the traditional cash registers and
credit/debit card-reading terminals. We will enable merchants with a wireless
solution allowing them to finalize a consumer purchase anywhere within their
store."
