PRESS RELEASE


Taguig, Metro Manila, Philippines, Aug. 18, 2009--VerifySmart(TM) Corp. (VSMR: OTCBB): VerifySmart(TM) (VSC), a global leader in secure and fraud free payment processing services, is pleased to announce the launch of its integrated and highly scalable e-commerce system along with its enhanced website.



AN EPIC PROBLEM



Globally, the number of payment transactions and money transfers conducted online, electronically, or through Credit/Debit cards has increased dramatically in a very few short years. In 2008, in excess of $10 Trillion was exchanged in various electronic forms across the world.



The credit/debit card technology that has been introduced in the last decade was developed to allow consumers the ease of purchases and transfers online. With the increase of electronic transactions, the instances of fraud have increased exponentially. Until now, there has been little effort made towards security, resulting in an ever increasing problem of ID theft and Credit/Debit card fraud that has reached in excess of $56 Billion annually.



THE SOLUTION



As an industry leader, VerifySmart(TM) Corp. has spent four years and millions of dollars to develop and is now marketing a solution to combat the problem that technology created. Our patent pending (PCT Approved) technology has been filed in 29 Countries based on strategic importance and wireless penetration rate.



The software operates through the use of a cellular phone for secured verification of monetary transactions. VerifySmart(TM) Corp. technology notifies the cardholder of the purchase through the cellular phone and empowers the cardholder to approve or decline his/her purchase. The result is a guaranteed transaction and acceptance providing safety and security for the cardholder and merchant, a first in the industry and providing a level of security unprecedented in other Credit/Debit cards.



Our industry changing transaction services model is non-invasive (requires no system changes) with instant identity verification that is inexpensive to implement and simple to use. The software has been developed to include debit card purchases, internet purchases, ATMs, passport, money transfers, remittances and mortgage verification.



An industry and global first, Verify Transfer is a suite of services that offers the following Transaction and Authentication based features:

• Seamlessly integrated with VSC's VeriSmart Card and VerifyNGo two
  factor authentication
  


• Provides virtual bank functionality and allows merchants full fund
  management control
  


• Merchants can issue and assign VeriSmart Cards to end users and load
  cards anytime, anywhere electronically (completely secured). Typical
  use includes payroll services and transactional fund disbursement in
  real time.
  


• Ability to garner interest in new markets via the foreign exchange
  module which enables merchants and end users a full view of their
  account balance and transaction history in two currencies
  


• Access to a full reporting and record management system allowing
  complete visibility of individual customer transaction history and
  macro roll up reports
  


• Unrivalled merchant and end user peace of mind enabled by utilizing
  the patent-pending VerifyNGo two factor authentication to complete
  funds transferred
