NEW YORK, Jan 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ - SmartCard Marketing Systems Inc (OTC: SMKG) announced today an agreement that will align the Bluebird line of EMV Chip & Pin for Wireless MPOS & Counter Top products to be certified with CT Payment Inc and broaden the reach of the Bluebird line allowing for SME to access a pre-certified channel of acquirers and processors globally.

Our strategy will immediately open the channel of connectivity and facilitate integrations to other EMV Host Switch's simplifying migration and truly becoming an independent agnostic product line."
