SAN DIEGO, Calif. - December 6, 2010 -- Secure Payment Systems ("SPS"), a national leader of value-added payment services and transaction processing in the U.S. and Canada, today announced a new mobile remote deposit capture (RDC) and check-guarantee solution - MobileXpress21™ - aimed specifically at market channel partners, financial institutions, and independent sales organizations (ISO's) serving wholesale and retail merchants throughout the United States.

To assure that its mobile-check-imaging and deposit-guarantee solution is a world class offering, SPS has formed a relationship with Mitek Systems Inc. (OTC: MITK.OB) to become a direct processor of Mobile Deposit®, Mitek's patented, market-leading mobile RDC application that enables check deposits via camera-equipped smartphones such as Apple iPhone devices.

Today's announcement is the culmination of a SPS - Mitek technology integration initiated earlier this year that unites the capabilities of SPS' electronic transaction processing, Check 21 image-capture, and guarantee solutions with Mobile Deposit®. This service positions merchants and sales agents to offer their customers a breakthrough in convenience, accuracy, and security for guaranteed funding of mobile remote check deposits. Already certified on the Apple Store for the iPhone, MobileXpress21™ can be downloaded by participating merchants for an easy-to-implement processing solution.

"Mobile is here to stay," said Linden (Lin) Fellerman, President & CEO of SPS. "We are proud of our new "MobileXpress21™" business application. The capability for our sales agents to be able to sell real time mobile Check 21 in conjunction with a guaranteed payment solution is a significant value-add that should translate into a more compelling and persuasive sales justification for the retail decision maker in the numerous market segments that cater to remote check acceptance, such as driver deliveries and the home contractor trades."

A smartphone equipped with MobileXpress21™ enables easy data prompting, entry and image scanning of checks. Transaction data and check images are captured remotely and securely, and transmitted real time to SPS servers for immediate translation and transaction processing. Approvals are transmitted near instantaneously back to the Smartphone, letting the user know of the guarantee and safety of the remote check-acceptance solution. Moreover, settlement funding is performed in one or two business days, emulating the existing electronic check conversion process.

"We sought to understand the needs of processing partners like SPS," said James DeBello, President and CEO of Mitek Systems. "We have formed a relationship with SPS that delivers a real-time, cutting-edge, mobile-Remote Deposit Capture product within the tight requirements of the industry. The unique real-time interface between our secure image-capture servers and MobileXpress21™ makes for a compelling argument when coupled with the transaction processing engine and settlement guarantee SPS provides. We couldn't be more delighted to have partnered with such a forward-thinking organization. We look forward to providing SPS with our solutions for BlackBerry devices soon.
