Kum & Go Joins Info Touch's TIO Network to Offer Self-service Payment & Financial Services

"TIO kiosks enable customers to pay their bills in cash in a convenient retail setting"


Burnaby, BC, Feb. 24 2005

BURNABY, BC, March 2 /CNW/ - Kum & Go LLC and Info Touch Technologies Corp. (TSX-V: IFT) today announced a strategic alliance to roll out self- service bill payment and financial service kiosks starting with 34 Kum & Go locations in Omaha, Nebraska and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
