PreCharge Risk Management Solutions Announces Strategic Partnership With Merchant
911

NEW YORK, NY - August 5, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- preCharge Risk Management
Solutions (www.preCharge.com), the up-and-coming leader in credit card chargeback
risk management today announced a strategic partnership with Merchant 911
(www.merchant911.org).

The partnership between preCharge and Merchant911 will allow both services to more
quickly and efficiently identify fraudulent activity online, affording merchants
the peace of mind that comes with access to the most comprehensive information
currently available.

"The reality is that the merchant is always held responsible for credit card
fraud. The acquirer isn't responsible, neither is the issuer, or the processor.
The buck always stops with the merchant," said Tom Mahoney, Founder and Managing
Director for Merchant 911.

For less than the cost of a single chargeback, merchants can now protect
themselves against chargeback activity in a way that has never before been
possible. With over 100 comprehensive checks and cross-checks, the preCharge
system provides the most comprehensive credit card transaction screening process
ever created.

"The preCharge system was designed with the small business in mind," says Alex
Corral, Director of Technology for preCharge Risk Management. "Our goal is to be
the best and we will not waiver."
