HEARTLAND PAYMENT SYSTEMS® CERTIFIES MAGTEK'S QWICKPAY FOR A SECURE MOBILE PAYMENT SOLUTION

Seal Beach, CA (January 10, 2011) – MagTek, Inc., a global leader in retail electronic payments security technology, today announced Heartland Payment Systems, the fifth largest payment processor in the US, has certified and now supports its QwickPAY mobile payment solution.

QwickPAY is a highly secure, mobile payment solution that enables merchants to use smart devices like the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to make secure card-present transactions anytime and anywhere. With QwickPAY, the transaction process is simple: the merchant enters the transaction amount on screen and swipes the customer payment card through the card reader attached to the device; the cardholder signs his/her name on the mobile device's screen; the transaction is processed and the merchant emails the cardholder an electronic receipt.

Built around the MagneSafe Security Architecture and using the iDynamo secure card reader authenticator, QwickPAY is designed to protect data from the point-of-swipe and surpasses the PCI DSS requirements for protecting sensitive data.

"By transforming mobile devices into multi-functional, secure point-of-sale (POS) systems, QwickPAY enables Heartland to offer business owners a user-friendly, portable processing solution that can be used across a variety of merchant environments." said Steve Elefant, Heartland's chief information officer.

"We are extremely pleased to be working with Heartland as it deploys QwickPAY. By combining QwickPAY with our iDynamo SCRA, merchants will reduce the cost of accepting credit and debit payments while protecting payment card data," said John Arato, MagTek's vice president for retail products. "Heartland is a leader in the payments industry and fully understands the importance of protecting its customers' data using a layered approach to enhance overall security.
