EMI Music UK has signed a deal with Ukash to accept cash as an online payment option when buying merchandise on its artist websites. Ukash, the UK-based company that introduced cash payments to global online transactions, can now be used to buy a wide range of merchandise from CDs and books to posters and T-shirts, featuring EMI artists such as Coldplay, Gorillaz, Queen, Paul McCartney, Kylie and The Chemical Brothers.

Ukash is building up strong partnerships online with several lifestyle, gaming and communications websites including Ladbrokes, Entropia Universe, Habbo Hotel, Skype, Raw Urban Talent, SpeedDater, CD Wow, ringKerching, gossiptel and Friday-ad, with Roma Victor coming soon.

David Gould, Commercial Manager, Digital Media at EMI Music UK, comments: "Ukash gives us a unique opportunity to reach a massive untapped market; roughly a third of UK consumers are reluctant to use credit cards in online transactions as they are concerned about fraud, and there are millions of consumers who have no option but to use cash exclusively for all purchases, as they are without the facility of a bank account."

Justin Lunny, Director of Sales at Ukash says: "We're really delighted to have the confidence of such a big music label in the scope for cash payments, and the EMI relationship is a great kick start to Ukash's move into all areas of online music

good ethics
Ukash-ing in

YouthNet has teamed up with Ukash to create a virtual collecting tin that encourages people to donate the change from their online purchases. Ukash issues cash vouchers for consumers in the UK and Europe to purchase goods and services online. The purchases are sometimes for a lower amount of money than the value of the vouchers, and consumers can now donate the change that results from spending the voucher to YouthNet.

How it works

Pay cash for a Ukash voucher in your local shop where you see the PayPoint, payzone or e-pay signs. Then use the unique Ukash number to pay for goods and services online – simple as that.

YouthNet's Chief Executive, Fiona Dawe, says: "YouthNet thrives on finding new and innovative ways of using the internet to benefit our users, be it through new technology on TheSite.org, or inventive ways to get our advice out there. Joining forces with Ukash is an exciting way to raise money through the internet, hopefully raising thousands of pounds for the young people we help."

People can donate the change from their Ukash vouchers to YouthNet and other charities through a donation function on the Ukash website.

Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash says: "We feel this is a dynamic way to provide charities with a new revenue stream by capitalising on the small value Ukash change vouchers that may not otherwise be spent."

saffy 15th nov online casino,s
Ukash, Payzone and MasterCard have pooled their respective strengths in order to create a payment mechanism that will make things much easier for players to remit funds to online casinos. This information has been released in a news item put out by Payzone on its website.

One of the drawbacks in current systems is that commercial banking organizations are required to fund e-wallet accounts or prepaid cards. There is increasing pressure on such organizations in many countries to stay away from online gambling. This has led to difficulties and insecurities in using commercial bank accounts to directly or indirectly fund online casino accounts. The system that is being worked out by Ukash, Payzone and MasterCard will totally bypass commercial banks and allow players to top up their prepaid cards using cash.

Ukash is a leading electronic payment services provider and will be responsible for the basic system on which the mechanism will function. MasterCard will provide the instrument that will be used in the transfer of funds. Payzone will provide the retail outlets where the players can top up the instruments for cash. The entire system is being labeled as MasterCard rePower. This system will be launched in early 2010 initially in the United Kingdom and will thereafter hit the European online gambling market.

Payzone has over 18,000 point of sale locations across the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. No customer is far from a Payzone retail outlet. Once this scheme rolls out players can simply walk down to the nearest Payzone point, pay cash their and swipe their MasterCard or Maestro prepaid card, which will get loaded by the amount of cash paid. The prepaid card can then be used at all outlets, online or off line, which accept MasterCard, including online casinos. The entire system is being put in place by Ukash. In Europe Ukash will be using the services of its different partners in different countries.

Bill Thomson, managing director at Payzone, pointed out that Payzone is already a leader in mobile top-ups, bill payments, calling cards, ticketing and money transfer. Topping up prepaid cards will add the range of services and result in growth for Payzone.

Ukash chief executive Mark Chirnside said, "The MasterCard rePower service is a real addition to the prepaid card segment in the UK. The prepaid market is very significant and has proved a key growth area and will continue to be an important revenue stream for Ukash as we continue to diversify our range of products."

A survey carried out in 2008 revealed that by 2015 there will be more than 20 million network-branded prepaid cards being used in the United Kingdom alone. With the launch of MasterCard rePower Ukash, Payzone and MasterCard will have first mover advantage.

i did saffy am 417k getting major deals 12/10/09 - Ukash and Payzone partnership builds platform for major rollout of MasterCard® rePower™

Ukash and Payzone are leading the way in the UK prepaid market having agreed a major new deal which will enable the provision of prepaid card reloading services for MasterCard rePower at over 18,000 Payzone outlets across the UK, bringing a boost to the prepaid card segment and extending convenience to cardholders in the UK.



Ukash, which is rapidly expanding its global footprint and range of services, has been working with MasterCard to launch MasterCard rePower - which will allow consumers to load cash onto their MasterCard and Maestro® prepaid cards at Point-of-Sale (POS) locations across Europe.



The deal with Payzone, which is Europe's largest branded consumer payments acceptance network, will significantly increase the number of outlets where MasterCard rePower will be available to consumers, and is expected to go live early in 2010.



To load money using MasterCard rePower, consumers simply swipe their card and in exchange for cash, their card is reloaded with funds. Ukash will enable this service to be delivered across the UK initially and then across Europe via partners within its merchant estate. The value of the transaction is immediately available for the consumer to spend on their MasterCard or Maestro prepaid card, wherever MasterCard is accepted.



Mark Chirnside, CEO of Ukash said: "The MasterCard rePower service is a real addition to the prepaid card segment in the UK and we are proud that our partnership with Payzone will make the service available to more customers across the UK. The prepaid market is very significant and has proved a key growth area and will continue to be an important revenue stream for Ukash as we continue to diversify our range of products."



Bill Thomson, Managing Director at Payzone said "We are delighted to be able to offer this service and to provide an easy and convenient place for customers to load funds onto their cards. Payment cards represent an exciting area of growth for Payzone, further adding to our extensive range of services which include mobile top-ups, bill payments, calling cards, ticketing and money transfer."
