Orlin Grabbe</A> ----- Digital Society Chaumian eCash Lives? At least according to the press release. eCash Technologies Announces Full Commercial Availability of eCash to Online Merchants and Consumers London/Hanover Germany, March 1st, 2000 - Deutsche Bank 24 is the first bank to offer eCash(tm) to consumers and merchants throughout Germany. Deutsche Bank 24 has provided eCash to customers for several years and is pleased to partner with eCash Technologies to achieve widespread adoption of eCash online currency. eCash is the virtual equivalent of cash, which can be used for many kinds of electronic payments, including micro-payments, person-to-person payments, business-to-business payments and purchases at online merchants that accept eCash. A successful global eCash pilot program involving more than 300 online merchants and eight banks worldwide recorded millions of dollars in transactions across 30,000 accounts. The pilot program received a 100 percent success rate and reported no security breaches. With strong support from banks and merchants and strong interest among consumers, the pilot program proved there is a high demand for a simple, safe and secure way to pay for online goods and services that mirrors the reliability and global acceptance of hard currency. "Consumers, merchants, and financial institutions have long awaited an online payment method that is simple, secure, cost-effective and can be used in as many ways as hard currency," said Drew Hyatt, president and CEO of eCash Technologies. "eCash addresses the needs of the global online market and will undoubtedly help spread the adoption of e-commerce." eCash Technologies is in active discussions with leading financial institutions and merchants throughout Europe, the United States, Asia, Canada and Australia to establish eCash as the global online payment standard and bring its convenience and usability to the rest of the world. In addition, eCash Technologies is working with several leading global wireless companies to bring the convenience of online cash payments to wireless devices. eCash Technologies will address international currency and multi-bank exchange challenges through a multi-currency eCash software product scheduled for international release later this year. eCash Technologies expects to make announcements about strategic partnerships over the next few months.
