NXGEN Goes Multinational

April 2006: Seattle, WA- NXGEN A TRANSACTION COMPANY (ATC), a leading payment services provider, announces the launch of NXGEN International, a world-wide provider of credit card processing, e-commerce, and comprehensive payment services.

NXGEN International's first goal was to establish its presence in Canada through the fully owned NXGEN Payment Services Canada Corp by securing an authorized reseller agreement with Elavon Canada, an affiliate of Elavon (Elavon). NXGEN Canada also provides lease financing for payment terminals through another major player in the industry.

"NXGEN's absolute dedication to our customer base and sales force, together with a commitment to ethics, professionalism, and inElavontive technology have made us successful in the USA market," said Thomas Nitopi, CEO of NXGEN ATC. "With the incorporation of our International sister company, merchants and businesses around the world will benefit from the same competitive pricing, inElavontive payment services, and dedicated care and support as the customer base we have in the USA."

Giuseppe Caltabiano, the recently hired President of NXGEN International comments; "The last few months of preparation for this venture have been amazingly exciting. NXGEN's credibility in the payment industry is unblemished, and the team that supports this venture consists of the best professionals in the industry. Thanks to our partners in the processing and leasing world and to our substantial investments in infrastructure, NXGEN offers its sales force and, most importantly, its customer base the best of breed of secure transaction automation."

MasterCard rates Elavon's processing network number one for reliability. "NXGEN has been a top-performing reseller of our services in the United States;" stated Stuart C. Harvey, Jr., president, Elavon. "We look forward to working with NXGEN International to further grow our business in Canada."

Being able to provide merchants and businesses with a competitive leasing option has been another key objective for NXGEN International. The leasing option is offered to NXGEN's customers thanks to a recently signed agreement with one of the major players in this arena.
