TouchPay announces the launch of the TouchPay Partner Program (ToPP)
1/8/2007 - New Partner Program broadens market reach through cooperative sales efforts with strategic partners to provide electronic payment systems and proprietary kiosks into the correctional facility market.

TouchPay announced today the launching of their new TouchPay Partner Program (ToPP) designed to identify and contract with service Partners to jointly expand sales into the correctional facility services market. ToPP, the new comprehensive partnership campaign, identifies key industry partner relationships in commissary and inmate telephone which provides enhanced services for city, county, DOC and federal facilities.

The ToPP program is being unveiled at the ACA trade show in Tampa, Florida, today. "We are extremely pleased to announce the new ToPP program. The program provides substantial revenue and expansion opportunities for our Partners unprecedented in the industry. Over the next few weeks, we will be announcing strategic Partners in both the commissary and inmate telephone market segments," said Dan Burgess, TouchPay's CEO. "We are thrilled to be offering our revolutionary Program and look forward to working together with our strategic Partners to identify new service offerings for our customers."

TouchPay provides a proprietary electronic network to facilitate the transfer of funds for cash applications in federal, state and local municipalities and correctional facilities. The convenient payment systems provide our joint customers the ability to make deposits into commissary, telephone, trust and other inmate accounts. Using the Web portal, telephone IVR system or the proprietary kiosk, the highly automated TouchPay system provides the most convenient, cost-effective manner for friends and family members to deposit funds into the various trust accounts of the approximately 2,300,000 incarcerated individuals housed in over 4,500 correctional facilities.

TouchPay enables our Partners to provide their customers with unprecedented simplicity, access and cost savings for account funding deposits. As part of this partnership, TouchPay will be working with our Partners to provide innovative new features to existing base service applications as well as pioneering unique hardware and payment offerings in the inmate release, POD and ticket application areas, stated Craig Bullard, TouchPay's President and COO. In addition to the excellent Partner Program, TouchPay is also looking to expand service and hardware offerings into new applications driven by Partner and Customer requirements. The company said that the new hardware offerings would be released and available beginning in third quarter of 2007.
