GeoTrust will take advantage of its strong reseller channel to sell its newest service - QuickPayments

May 22, 2003 - Wellesley, Mass. - GeoTrust Inc., a leader in identity and security solutions for e-business and the second largest certificate authority, today introduced its reseller program for QuickPayments Services. QuickPayments Services is a natural add on for resellers who offer ecommerce solutions. The QuickPayments Reseller program is designed to provide resellers with an additional revenue stream that requires minimal investment.

Online payment services can be easily bundled with ecommerce applications sold by many hosting providers. GeoTrust has made the process easy for the reseller. Under the QuickPayments Reseller program, resellers earn a referral fee by recommending QuickPayments Services to their customers. Once customers place their order, GeoTrust manages the setup for the individual merchants and invoices them directly.

The QuickPayments Reseller program consists of a bundle offer that includes GeoTrust's QuickPayments Premium and a merchant account. QuickPayments Premium enables e-businesses to accept credit card payments and fulfill orders online. It enables online merchants to instantaneously establish accounts and begin processing and managing secure online credit card orders. QuickPayments Services is powered by GeoTrust's automated technology, which enables faster online enrollment and instant set-up and merchant account provisioning. The services cost substantially less than similar e-commerce payment solutions on the market.

GeoTrust QuickPayments Services offers easy and fast merchant account set-up that enables immediate connectivity to the leading payment processing networks without any complicated software or hardware. After filling out the Web-based enrollment form, merchant accounts are ready for access within minutes. QuickPayments supports multiple payment types, including credit cards, purchase cards and debit cards, and is pre-integrated with all major shopping cart applications.

"The reseller community has played a significant role in GeoTrust's market share growth and we want to continue to provide offerings that are easy, competitive and profitable additions to their existing business," said Neal Creighton, President and CEO of GeoTrust.
