EXS Announces Fundraising Partnership with Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation

Local credit card transactions will now support Atlanta affiliate

ATLANTA - March 30, 2006 - Today, Electronic Exchange Systems (EXS), a credit card and internet transaction processing provider, announced that the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Greater Atlanta Affiliate has been selected as a recipient for funds raised through its Processing for a Cause program. Now, Atlanta-area merchants who use EXS as their credit card processor can elect to have 10 percent of their transaction fees donated to the Komen Foundation. The announcement was made one month out from Komen's largest fundraiser, the annual Race for the Cure® taking place May 13, at Atlantic Station.

The Komen partnership marks the first time an Atlanta-area non-profit will benefit from the Processing for a Cause program. "With Americans charging more than $2.4 trillion on credit cards each year, donations based on merchant transaction fees offer charitable organizations a strong revenue stream," said Ken Osako, president, Processing for a Cause. "The Processing for a Cause program is a simple and seamless way for local merchants to build supportive relationships with invaluable agencies like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation," he added.

Without any extra costs, businesses that join Processing for a Cause can contribute a portion of each transaction fee to a wide range of charitable organizations. For more information about Komen Atlanta's Race for the Cure, contact Komen at 404-459-8700.

"We are delighted to be added to the Processing for a Cause roster and look forward to a successful and long-term partnership with Electronic Exchange Systems," said Kelly Dolan, executive director, Komen Atlanta. "With our annual Atlanta Race for the Cure coming up May 13, there couldn't be a better time to launch this easy new way for Atlanta merchants and shoppers to support our cause."
