m-Via Releases Mobile Friends and Family Payments Solution
Bringing the advantages of Mobile Transactions to Interpersonal Payments
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – January 7, 2008 – m-Via Inc., the leader in innovative mobile transaction
technology and solutions, today announced the release of a new turn-key solution for Mobile Friends and
Family Payments, bringing the power and convenience of mobile transactions to the problem of social
and interpersonal payments.
From friends and family to online social networks, people are more connected now than ever before and
expect instant interactions with members of their social circle. Before now, giving money to friends and
relatives for any occasion, whether festive, commonplace, or an emergency was onerous; cash, checks,
and money orders are inconvenient for either the giver or the recipient, or both.
m-Via’s Mobile Friends and Family Payments Solution opens a new era in interpersonal money
exchange. Build atop the proven foundation of the best-of-breed mobile transactions application suite,
MoTr™, m-Via’s Mobile Friends and Family Payments Solution provides advantages over traditional
methods on all measures: cost, speed, security, convenience, safety.
“Why is it that money exchanges among friends and family is still conducted mostly using cash and
checks while over 80% of consumers under age 30 greatly prefer using credit cards, debit cards, or
electronic mechanisms to make purchases? The reason is that, before our Mobile Friends and Family
Payments Solution, there was no easy, convenient, and economical way of transacting money within your
social circle whenever you want and wherever you are,” said Kenneth D. Kruszka, CEO of m-Via. “What
we’ve done with this solution is bridge the gap between sender and recipient and allow people to
exchange money anywhere, anytime without the hassles and dangers of carrying cash.”

m-Via Releases Mobile Remittances Solution
Bringing the advantages of Mobile Transactions to Global Money Transfers
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – January 7, 2008 – m-Via Inc., the leader in innovative mobile transaction
technology and solutions, today announced the release of a new turn-key solution for Mobile
Remittances, bringing the power and convenience of mobile transactions to the problem of international
money transfers.
An international remittance is a person-to-person transfer of funds from a person physically located in one
country to another person in a second country. Before now, the typical consumer had no other choice but
to use a traditional registered money transfer service, such as Western Union, or an informal “hawala” to
send money home to friends and loved ones in another country.
m-Via’s Mobile Remittances Solution opens a new era in international money transfers. Built atop the
proven foundation of the best-of-breed mobile transactions application suite, MoTr™, m-Via’s Mobile
Remittances Solution provides advantages over traditional methods on all measures: cost, speed,
security, convenience, safety.
“Immigrant communities are tragically underserved by existing financial services providers. Through our
Mobile Remittances Solution, we not only help unbanked and underbanked individuals with a service they
need every month, at a better value proposition than any current method, but we also provide a
springboard for more substantial financial services,” said Kenneth D. Kruszka, CEO of m-Via. “Mobile
technology is key to providing a more convenient, cheaper, safer, and more secure way to send money
back home to support your family.”
