SelectCore Signs 5-Year Exclusive Deal for Iridium MasterCard


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 11, 2011) - SelectCore Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SCG), a provider of prepaid telecom and financial solutions for the credit challenged and unbanked consumer market is pleased to announce that it has entered into a 5 year exclusive distribution agreement for the sale of Iridium MasterCard in over 200 retail locations including Long Distance Phone Card banner stores in major shopping malls across the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) such as Lawrence Square, Parkway Mall, Woodside Square, The Albion Centre, Shoppers World Brampton, Pacific Mall, Jane & Finch Mall, Rockwood Mall, Eglington Square, Centrepoint Mall, Woodbine Centre, Ceadarbrae Mall and Bridalwood Mall.

These locations are in key demographic markets and the mall stores alone currently service in excess of 150,000 customers every month. Deployment of the Company's point-of-sale platform and merchandising is expected to commence June 1st, 2011 or sooner.

In connection with the exclusive distribution agreement, SelectCore has received an initial purchase order for 20,000 Iridium MasterCard cards. The agreement is for an initial five-year term with one-year auto-renew provisions and requires a nominal investment to be made by SelectCore for the merchandising and set-up of each store. The agreement also provides for each location to act as an authorized agent for SelectCore's ReCash reload network.

Keith McKenzie, CEO of SelectCore commented "What excites us most about this partnership is the fact that the Iridium brand will be front and centre with our target audience."

There is no credit check or bank account required to get an Iridium MasterCard. The card, which can be reloaded over and over again, is accepted at over 28.5 million locations worldwide and online. Cardholders have complete control of their funds with online account access, text message alerts, bill pay, money transfers, ATM access and more. Customers may even have their paycheck deposited directly to their card on payday.

"Iridium is like a bank for the un-banked" said Ryan Deslippe, President of SelectCore "from direct deposit to ATM access and more, it's just like having a traditional checking account".

The Company is pursing similar distribution partnerships for Iridium MasterCard in both Canada and the US to further grow its existing retail network.
