3PEA International, Inc. Announces PayPad(R) V3 PC-POS Payment Terminal

    LAS VEGAS, Jan. 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 3PEA International, Inc.
 (OTC: TPNL.PK - News), a payment solutions company, announced today its
 latest Payment Terminal, the PayPad V3.
     The PayPad PC-POS Payment Terminal offers one of the industry's
 smallest footprints in a PC-POS device category and at an extremely
 affordable price point. The new modern ergonomic design fits comfortably in
 the hand and makes it easy to use while custom labeling creates a new
 vehicle for brand awareness.
     In response to numerous inquiries and requests from within the payment
 industry, 3PEA has identified and acknowledged the need for affordability,
 convenience, robust flexibility, compact design and has developed a cost-
 effective combination of form and function to address the rapid growth and
 needs of the PC-POS device market. Additionally, the 3PEA new and improved
 architecture, along with its API, allows Windows developers to quickly and
 easily turn any Windows software application into a fully functioning
 payment terminal. Unlike most other MSR/PINpad devices, the PayPad has been
 specifically designed since its inception for seamless integration with the
 Windows Operating System.
     PayPad V3 builds on the strengths of previous versions of the PayPad
 product line while adding higher levels of security and functionality. This
 upgrade will allow PayPad further penetration into traditional
 point-of-sale markets for the growing number of customers implementing
 Windows PC-based POS payment solutions.
     The company will begin accepting orders for the PayPad V3 PC-POS
 Payment Terminals in the second quarter of 2007. The newest PayPad will
 level the playing field by providing affordable deployments to financial
 service companies of all sizes who are currently using or are planning to
 use a Windows PC-based payment solution.
     PayPad V3 is a high-performance USB based peripheral device which
 incorporates an MSR (Magnetic Stripe Reader), EPP (Encrypting PINPad) and
 Smart Card (Integrated Circuit Card) Reader. The new version includes an
 LCD (16x2) display, enhanced tamper features to meet PCI (Payment Card
 Industry) compliance, and designed to be a handheld POS device. It has also
 been upgraded from a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 to USB 2.0. The PayPad
 V3 meets stringent security requirements, including a processor and RAM
 encased in epoxy with a secure cryptographic module, DES, 3DES, DUKPT and
 3DES DUKPT support.
