Moneta and Equifax Agree to Provide Online Instant Credit Option

Moneta, a fast-growing online payment alternative to credit cards, announced an agreement with Equifax Inc. (NYSE:EFX), a global leader in information solutions, to utilize the Equifax credit decisioning system for a new instant credit feature for Moneta’s online payment wallet. Merchants accepting Moneta payments may now offer a range of bank-sponsored funding options to their customers including checking, savings, money market and now instant transactional credit lines underwritten by the sponsoring bank.

"Merchants are looking for customer-friendly, real-time transactional credit offerings for online purchases and consumers want simple, easy-to-use credit options,” said Dann Adams, president of Equifax’s Consumer Information Solutions. "We are pleased to team with Moneta to provide innovative solutions for comprehensive risk management and credit decisions in a real-time, online purchase setting.”

Moneta currently offers an easy-to-use online payment method that allows customers to fund online purchases directly from a bank account, without disclosing their personal financial information to the merchant. The instant credit feature, scheduled for release in early 2010, will extend the funding options of Moneta payments to include the extension of transactional credit for online purchases, in real-time. Moneta is primarily marketed and distributed through leading U.S. banks as an extension of their demand deposit account (DDA) service portfolio.

"In choosing an industry leader to drive our credit decisioning engine we selected Equifax, as a widely trusted partner of leading banks and financial institutions throughout the U.S.,” said Guido Sacchi, CEO of Moneta Corporation. "Moneta’s merchant and bank partners have a growing demand for transactional, instant credit offerings to drive sales, and the partnership between Moneta and Equifax provides them with an innovative, differentiated solution. Merchants and their customers will greatly benefit from the addition of instant transactional credit to Moneta’s funding options.”
