SelectCore Supplies Emergency Aid Cards for Province of Alberta


TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 2, 2013) - SelectCore Ltd. ("SelectCore" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG), Canada's Leading Payments Organization, announced today that the Province of Alberta has chosen SelectCore to provide prepaid MasterCard cards for the disbursement of emergency relief funds to citizens displaced by the recent floods.

The Province of Alberta is distributing SelectCore's prepaid MasterCard cards as part of the Province's $1-billion pledge in reconstruction funds to affected communities. The cards are being loaded with $1,250 per adult and $500 per child as emergency relief in order to help pay for essential day-to-day purchases such as food and lodging.

SelectCore's emergency relief card solution allows government agencies to efficiently, securely and transparently distribute financial aid immediately to displaced families in the event of a disaster. The use of prepaid cards also significantly reduces the cost of distribution and risk associated with traditional cash or cheques.

"We are gratified that our prepaid card solution has been able to assist the Province of Alberta and the affected families," said Keith McKenzie, President of SelectCore. "We would also like to thank our partners at MasterCard, All-Trans Credit Union and DataCard for assisting in delivering such a fast response time."
