Direct Merchant Services to launch MasterCard program at ICEi 2009

Direct Merchant Services Ltd, based in Northampton, UK, will launch its new co-branded, MasterCard-based issuing program at ICEi 2009, Business Development Manager Hasu Jani has confirmed.

The launch, which echoes the 2008 birth of similar Cirrus and Maestro-based initiatives, will see the unveiling of a co-branded program and e-transfer service.

Jani explained: "Our 2009 programme allows any company to issue branded MasterCard credit cards to their consumer base and includes the option of pre-loading cards with credit. The initiative is part of our objective of further expanding our product range into transaction processing business, with full payments in/out and support solutions.”

Direct Merchant Services has formidable experience in the merchant acquiring and payment processing sector, as well as proven and established services within the AUMEC Group, since 1997. The company will exhibit on ICEi stand 5010 at the International Gaming Expo, which takes place at London's Earls Court Exhibition Centre across 27-29 January, 2009.
