Info Touch Technologies launches wireless bill pay service at Denver International Airport

August 24, 2004

BURNABY, British Columbia - Denver International Airport will soon have 32 "Shibby Branded" automated self-serve bill pay kiosks. The Info Touch Technologies kiosks are co-owned and operated by RHMES Communications of Denver and Kiosk Information Systems of Louisville, Colo.

Powered by Info Touch's Surfnet Premiere software, the kiosks enable airport employees and air travelers to pay Cricket wireless bills with cash or credit card as well as pay other post paid bill payment and financial services applications. Payments by check are expected to follow soon afterwards.

All applications will be available in Spanish and English.

KIS President and CEO Rick Malone said, "The Denver Airport is the fifth busiest airport in the U.S. and is an ideal location for this sort of application due to its approximately 23,000 employees. Also, new low-cost carriers have changed the demographic of air travel and we believe that the Shibby terminals at DIA are a compelling opportunity for bill payment services."

"There is a growing demand for alternative modes of payment amongst approximately 30 percent of America's population who fall within the `unbanked' or `underbanked' demographic, as they may not have a bank or credit card account or prefer cash to other methods of payment," said Hamed Shahbazi, Info Touch Technologies' CEO.
