PDS Announces The Availability Of IRemotePay(TM), The Secure IPhone Mobile Payment App For IPhone, IPad, And IPod Touch

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Payment Data Systems, Inc. (OTCQB:PYDS), an integrated electronic payments solutions provider, today announced that its iRemotePay™ App is now available on the App Store ^SM. The app has been developed for the iPhone ^®, and is also compatible with the iPad ^®, and iPod touch ^®. 

iRemotePay™, when coupled with a compatible card reader and an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, enables a merchant to securely process credit cards, ACH payments (e-Checks) and cash over cellular or Wi-Fi networks from remote locations and view these payment transactions while away from the office. It operates as a true point-of-sale (POS) terminal.

iRemotePay™ is appropriate for large or small organizations, such as HVAC or plumbing services, or churches that have a need for wireless payment applications. It is also completely compatible with PDS' market strategy which focuses on large enterprises with large customer bases and which have a need for remote payment processing applications on a full time basis or at special events

iRemotePay™ is unique from other mobile payment solutions in three key ways:

• it is targeted to merchants that have a need for one or multiple devices in their service market but also have a need for a common settlement account;
• in addition to accepting all card types , iRemotePay™ will allow the entry and processing of ACH payments (e-Checks) and cash; and
• it is processor independent which means iRemotePay™ can act as a gateway to the merchant's existing merchant processor who may not be Payment Data.

iRemotePay™ is fully integrated with PDS' back-office applications which provide real time access to view the completed transaction by the merchant's accounting department or at the remote location by the person that entered the information. 

iRemotePay™ also is a secure app with fully encrypted end-to-end transactions. Therefore it is designed to be fully compliant with all current and future PCI security requirements. 

iRemotePay™ is specifically designed for remote wireless POS applications. The following serves only as a list of examples:

• Special remote events;
• Concerts and sports arenas;
• Taxis and Limousines;
• Service Industries such as Plumbers, Electricians, Installers, and Repairmen;
• Door to Door Sales;
• Utility Companies' On-Site Collections;
• Flea Market Vendors;
• Any Remote Sales Merchant.

iRemotePay™ features include:

• Secure Payment Processing with end to end encryption of transaction data;
• Allows our customer to leverage their existing wireless plan if using a cellular network;
• Internet based reporting;
• Back office support for corporate office or remote personnel so each can immediately view transactions as soon as a sale is made;
