Info Touch Technologies Launches Cricket Bill Pay Service at Denver International Airport

Burnaby, BC, August 24, 2004

Info Touch Technologies Corp. (www.infotouch.net) (IFT: TSX Venture Exchange) announced a new distribution point for its automated self-serve bill pay services at 32 “Shibby Branded” kiosks at the Denver International Airport. The kiosks are co-owned and operated by RHMES Communications of Denver, CO and Kiosk Information Systems of Louisville CO.

Powered by Info-Touch’s industry leading Surfnet Premiere software, the kiosks will enable airport employees and air travelers to pay their Cricket wireless bills in cash and/or credit card as well as other post paid bill payment and financial services applications. Payments by check are expected to follow soon afterwards.

The stakeholders of the project expect to derive revenues from the convenience fees paid by consumers in order to pay their Cricket or other bills of their choice. All applications will be available in Spanish and English.

“We’re always looking for new ways to enhance our customers’ experience,” said Tom Williams, area general manager for Cricket. “With self-serve bill pay, we’re providing another easy and convenient payment option. We look forward to being part of this growing technology focused on serving our customers.”

President and CEO Rick Malone said, “The Denver Airport is the fifth busiest airport in the US and is an ideal location for this sort of application due to its approximately 23,000 employees. Also, new low-cost carriers have changed the demographic of air travel and we believe that the Shibby terminals at DIA are a compelling opportunity for bill payment services.”

“There is a growing demand for alternative modes of payment amongst approximately 30% of America’s population who fall within the ‘unbanked’ or ‘underbanked’ demographic, as they may not have a bank / credit card account or prefer cash to other methods of payment,” said Hamed Shahbazi, CEO of Info Touch Technologies Corp. “Shibby is a great example of the Company’s ‘indirect distribution’ model where IFT can leverage its software application and monetization program without funding new kiosk infrastructure.”
