The 8000S, 8100 and 8230 can support the full range of NOVA payment processing applications, including credit, debit, checks and gift cards, electronic checks and dynamic currency conversion, while the 2085 can support credit, debit and gift card transactions. With this certification, these terminals can be sold and supported by NOVA to its merchant and financial institution customers.

David Strider, executive vice president, business development and global operations of NOVA said, "The addition of the NURIT terminals to our already broad range of offerings will help to ensure that our customers can select from among the leading solutions in the market, further enhancing the level of value we provide our members. With the vast array of features, communications options, and the high level of security that Lipman's products are known for, we are confident that NOVA can offer a terminal to meet the needs of any merchant or financial institution within our network. We are pleased to incorporate Lipman to our list of industry leading partners and look forward to a long, successful relationship."

Robert Striano, President and CEO of Lipman USA said, "With a broad range of Lipman's POS solutions now certified by NOVA, we believe our NURIT products are better positioned to meet the diverse needs of merchants and financial institutions in the United States. Receipt of these certifications is an important stepping-stone in our strategy to grow Lipman's U.S. business both with financial institutions as well as with the ISO market, which has traditionally represented our primary focus. We have made a great deal of progress in this respect during 2005 and have laid the foundation for the continued growth of Lipman USA in 2006."
