SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc. (SMKG:OTC) Announces Deal with Loyalty SuperStore Inc to Provide Payment Integration for Real-Time Transaction Routing & Vouchers Redemption

NEW YORK, Jan. 6, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc (SMKG: OTC) announced today a partnership with Loyalty SuperStore Inc (LSS) which will create a value added exchange of offers & incentives for real-time redemption such as promotions, rebates and rewards including a points offering that will be offered through the payment platform of SmartCard Marketing and the loyalty, added benefits and incentive B2B and B2B2C programs of Loyalty Superstore.  

In addition the partnership will also create an important leap forward as SmartCard Marketing through its pending acquisition of CT will bring a suite of new capabilities to LSS allowing it to grow through infrastructure of EMV Payments, NFC, Ecommerce & BIN routing for real-time redemption & reconciliation of transactions and will be offering the LSS Local Thanks platform to our 60,000 merchant processing base.

The partnership creates multiple levels of synergies that will benefit retailers and consumers in North America and opens a new stream of capabilities for Asian and worldwide markets which will be able to benefit from targeting travellers with the existing offers.

CEO Massimo Barone stated "We are excited to work with Martins Company and to have access to such a robust content base of incentives and rewards from so many important national retailers, theme parks & vendors, including local merchants that will benefit our network of Independent Sales organizations, Independent Software Vendors and Resellers of prepaid cards domestically and internationally. Their Local Thanks platform opens a new and exciting revenue stream for SmartCard.

Our capabilities including the broad reach of CT Payments Inc processing services will also play a very crucial role for enabling LSS to services large retailers with a fully agnostic payment solution allowing both companies to expand rapidly delivering EMV& NFC enabled POS & MPOS devices. This drastically improves the delivery to market for both companies and reduces integration for major retailers and global enterprise a key factor in decision making."
