-- US Dataworks Revolutionizes In-Store Payments With PayItFast™ --

SUGAR LAND, Texas, Sept. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- US Dataworks, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: UDWK), a leader in payment processing solutions, announced today the launch of PayItFast, a first-of-its-kind cloud-based solution for automating in-store (walk-in) payments.  PayItFast revolutionizes in-store payments by eliminating the need for a computer at the point of payment acceptance.  Plus, PayItFast accepts all payment types, including checks, cards, and cash.  PayItFast centralizes payments received at all locations into the Clearingworks payment platform for improved financial controls, ease of integration with Customer Information System (CIS) or accounting systems, and reduced processing costs.  Businesses can now offer the convenience and timeliness of in-store payments without the hassle and expense of current product offerings.

Recent studies identified a growing trend in walk-in payments.  According to the 2009 FDIC study, there are approximately 30 million households that are either unbanked or underbanked (meaning they regularly rely on services such as check cashing and payday loans).*  As a result, the number of in-store bill payments is on the rise.  In fact, an Aite Group study recently estimated the total number of in-store bill payments at 859 million in 2009, up substantially from 749 million in 2005, an increase of 15% over the four year period.** Unfortunately, walk-in payments are among the most costly transactions to process.  

"Until now, businesses were forced to rely on fragmented manual processes that delayed funds availability and inconvenienced customers," said Leilani Doyle, US Dataworks Director of Product Management.  "What's more, businesses struggle with limited counter space and staff training time, which is why PayItFast's compact design and streamlined operations is the perfect solution."  

PayItFast is an App that extends the Clearingworks four pillars of modern payment processing:

• ClearPayments - Comprehensive, multi-channel payment processing for paper checks, Internet, phone payments, lock-box, electronic bill-pay and now in-store payments with PayItFast.
• ClearDeposits - Multiple deposits and clearing for Automated Clearing House (ACH), Check21, and credit/debit cards.
• ClearReturns - Automated returns matching, resubmissions, posting of final returns, and fee assessments.
• ClearInsights - Integrated retention and retrieval of payment data and images with powerful, payment analytics.

PayItFast is ideal for utilities, government agencies, insurance companies, and check cashing services that take payments at multiple locations.  With PayItFast, simply plug the combination check scanning and card swiping terminal into an Internet connection and you are ready to start processing payments.  The cloud-based delivery model of Clearingworks combined with the PayItFast App ensures a consistent customer experience, regardless of where or how customers choose to pay their bills.  Just like other Clearingworks product offerings, PayItFast is priced at a simple monthly subscription fee.

"By turning the concept of traditional walk-in payment processing on its head, US Dataworks has delivered an affordable solution to a high-cost transaction," said US Dataworks President and COO Mario Villarreal.  "The combination of our Clearingworks cloud-based delivery model and the ability to process any payment type provided by PayItFast will significantly reduce the upfront and ongoing costs while accelerating funds availability."

Today's announcement is the just the latest in a long line of payment industry "firsts" from US Dataworks, the innovation leader.
