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.”
