Cliff Wildes, CEO of Morgan Beaumont, stated, "We are proud to have received this endorsement from i2c, a leading processor in the prepaid card market. We realize that its acceptance by the processors is crucial to the success of any value load solution. At Morgan Beaumont we offer their consumers a secure network, as well as over 100,000 convenient locations where they can re-load their cards with value and gain access to a number of other transactions that consumers of stored value cards are demanding. This is the first step in our overall strategy of offering the SIRE Network services to the stored value industry. We are very pleased to have i2c as a strategic partner as we move forward."
