On-Line Strategies Announces PaymentMaster

DALLAS, TX – Feb. 22, 2011 – On-Line Strategies [OLS] today announces PaymentMaster, a hosted system for automating the distribution of royalty and other payments to partners, stakeholders and suppliers. Working in conjunction with existing oil and gas accounting software, PaymentMaster generates electronic and paper-based checks, and provides online electronic statements and payee management tools for oil and gas exploration and production (E&P) companies at significant savings over manual and traditional third-party processing methods.

"NeoFirma approached us on behalf of their clients and asked whether we could apply our proven electronic payments system to their monthly revenue distribution requirements," mentioned Terry Richards, OLS' founder and CEO. "Frankly, I was shocked that so many of them were manually preparing paper statements and checks for those with a vested interest in their oil and gas wells. PaymentMaster streamlines these tasks and saves significant expense over manual methods. And for energy companies using a financial services provider to perform EFT royalty payment transactions, PaymentMaster can save thousands of dollars every month."

Asked whether PaymentMaster has application for companies outside the oil and gas arena, Richards commented, "We see this as only the tip of the iceberg. While Neofirma will represent PaymentMaster to their energy customers and prospects, OLS believes that literally any company preparing 300 or more monthly payments and statements for its employees, suppliers, contractors, investors and so forth, can benefit from using OLS.PaymentMaster. We offer the software as a service, so start-up costs are minimal, and payback begins in only a few months."
