     "People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?"            “Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you.”

2011 Predictions

     •      Despite good efforts to the contrary and Visa’s plan to support dual interchange schedules, exempt debit card
            issuers will suffer major product profitability declines as a consequence of Durbin.
              Mar. Won’t know until the end the year. Sit tight.
              Jun. Fed’s final rules changed things somewhat by raising the floor and putting the industry on notice that big brother will be watching.
              Sep. Already happening as networks lop off 15-20 basis points here and there while kicking up the small ticket fees. Nobody happy.
     •      A major retailer will take first-mover action to propel mobile payments out of its holding pattern in cottage industry
            land – doesn’t include early players McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca Cola, or Jack in the Box.
              Mar. Major retailers at the Alternative Payments Systems Innovation conference stated that they wanted lower costs, shorter lines,
              strong security, dial tone reliability, easy implementation, and low maintenance in mobile payments. A tall order; might not happen this
              year.
              Jun. Now that the Fed has reneged on its first Durbin offer, it’s likely that retailers will move on with mobile.
              Sep. Press releases popping all the time with this or that retailer joining Google or Isis. No full-blown movement yet.
     •      Isis, the mobile payments consortium, will launch to a lukewarm response.
              Mar. Didn’t see any skyrockets when Isis announced its 2012 (really?) transportation pilot in Salt Lake City.
              Jun. Yet another change of direction announced – entering Austin market for pilots. We see the term “flip-flop” being used a lot.
              Sep. Isis may actually get stronger through its “heads or tails” approach. Google launch delay has allowed time for others to re-think.
     •      Major retailer profits will grow in the second half of 2011 but we will not be able to cite Durbin as the reason. (And,
            if the issue is raised, the MPC will brush it off.)
              Mar. Waiting to see what happens in Q3 and Q4.
              Jun. Fed Chairman poured cold water on this prediction.
              Sep. Heartland’s “Durbin Dollars” report is pretty clever and suggests that the money is flowing in already. Where it’s going isn’t clear.
     •      Having lost the pricing advantage between their products and POS debit, two providers of alternative payments
            schemes will fold or sell out cheap.
              Mar. Again tied to the Fed’s final rules – which won’t be ready by April 21 as required. Nice.
              Jun. Three on a match! FaceCash and Bling Nation shut down to “re-think” their business models. Tempo is both in a ditch and
              liquidating.
              Sep. Game over.
     •      Starbucks will selectively open use of its proprietary prepaid card to retail partners. Target, with its 1,000 in-store
            coffee facilities, might be first.
              Mar. Nothing yet but it’s going to happen!
              Jun. Still waiting; come on guys, it’s the next logical step.
              Sep. Guys must be using too much of their decaf product. This is a slam dunk, Starbucks! If Facebook can it with Credits, so can you.

Med                          2. ATM Restructuring              Discover: Pretty much unscathed by Durbin and its cash rewards programs
                                                               are still considered top-of-the-heap.

2011 Payments Industry YTD Yields
        What a difference a quarter makes! Our basket of payments equities gave up $3.1 billion in market
        cap in Q3 while the Dow and S&P reversed their positive flows on a year-to-date basis, winding up
        the first nine months of 2011 with cumulative declines of 5.7 and 10 percent, respectively. Card
        brands and mainline processors were able to out-perform the indices while everyone else pretty
        much took it on the chin. Troubles in both the US economy and that for Europe might suggest a
        rocky Q4 as well.

                                                            Both networks insist that the agreement is designed to better customer service for their respective

     Online Virtual Good Fraud                     WSJ    • Concern about fraud rearing its ugly head in online transactions was first raised by TrendWatch
                                                   July     three years ago. Back then, we were concerned by stolen credit cards being used at online
                                                            gambling sites. Now we know that fraudsters are moving on to virtual goods purchased at non-
                                                            gambling sites using stolen cards then sold at discounts at any number of secondary market
                                                            websites. For instance, Cybersource announced at 1.9 percent of all online digital goods sales
                                                            involved fraud. This compares unfavorably to 1.1 percent fraud experience posted by physical
                                                            goods sellers. Just a word to the wise.

Jumio                                PaymentsSource    • Jumio is another one of those start-up companies doing the best it can to conquer the challenge of
                                               July      online payments fraud. Its Netswipe system launched in July using a consumer’s webcam to verify that
                                                         a shopper has a valid payment card before allowing a transaction to occur. The basic concept is that of
                                                         converting the webcam into a card reader in an attempt to shift fraud liability away from the accepting
                                                         merchant. Thus far, the card companies have yet to agree and transactions handled by Jumio’s
                                                         technology remain card-not-present for pricing and fraud risk purposes. Two side benefits of the
                                                         Netswipe system are a proven reduction in the number of “false positive” fraud hits when the app was

MasterCard                           American Banker   • The rationale behind the acquisition of the TravelEx Card Program Management division by
                                              August     MasterCard seemed a bit murky at first but now we have been given some clarity. The business unit

FIS                                        CU Times    • What started out as footnote to the company’s quarterly earnings report in May appears to have taken
                                             August      on a life of its own. Seems that the major transaction and core systems processor FIS has experienced
                                                         a $13 million loss due to unauthorized activities associated with its Sunrise prepaid card processing
                                                         system. Apparently cyber thieves were able to increase or eliminate the withdrawal limits for a mere 22
                                                         prepaid cards which they then cloned and distributed to “associates” all across Europe, Russia and the

                                                         case. If the loss winds up being uninsured, FIS shareholders will take a 3¢ per share haircut.

     Prepaid card industry in        Paybeforelegal   • The few of us business people who are still California residents have got to wonder why we bother. The
     California                             Others      Sacramento legislature’s latest hare-brained idea was to put a stake through the heart of employers opting to
                                        September       pay wages to employees not having bank accounts with prepaid payroll cards. CA S 931 would have
                                                        required employers to offer a host of free services including: a replacement card every year, four free ATM

Back in the day!

        Twenty-one plus years ago two young
        payments consultants wandered into
        a 420# blue marlin were they were
        eating lunch in the cockpit of a 28 foot
        cruiser in the East Cape region of
        Baja California. Four hours later, the
        deed was done.

        Lesson learned: sometimes skinny
        guys get all the luck!

  • 4. 2011 Predictions • Despite good efforts to the contrary and Visa’s plan to support dual interchange schedules, exempt debit card issuers will suffer major product profitability declines as a consequence of Durbin. Mar. Won’t know until the end the year. Sit tight. Jun. Fed’s final rules changed things somewhat by raising the floor and putting the industry on notice that big brother will be watching. Sep. Already happening as networks lop off 15-20 basis points here and there while kicking up the small ticket fees. Nobody happy. • A major retailer will take first-mover action to propel mobile payments out of its holding pattern in cottage industry land – doesn’t include early players McDonald’s, Starbucks, Coca Cola, or Jack in the Box. Mar. Major retailers at the Alternative Payments Systems Innovation conference stated that they wanted lower costs, shorter lines, strong security, dial tone reliability, easy implementation, and low maintenance in mobile payments. A tall order; might not happen this year. Jun. Now that the Fed has reneged on its first Durbin offer, it’s likely that retailers will move on with mobile. Sep. Press releases popping all the time with this or that retailer joining Google or Isis. No full-blown movement yet. • Isis, the mobile payments consortium, will launch to a lukewarm response. Mar. Didn’t see any skyrockets when Isis announced its 2012 (really?) transportation pilot in Salt Lake City. Jun. Yet another change of direction announced – entering Austin market for pilots. We see the term “flip-flop” being used a lot. Sep. Isis may actually get stronger through its “heads or tails” approach. Google launch delay has allowed time for others to re-think. • Major retailer profits will grow in the second half of 2011 but we will not be able to cite Durbin as the reason. (And, if the issue is raised, the MPC will brush it off.) Mar. Waiting to see what happens in Q3 and Q4. Jun. Fed Chairman poured cold water on this prediction. Sep. Heartland’s “Durbin Dollars” report is pretty clever and suggests that the money is flowing in already. Where it’s going isn’t clear. • Having lost the pricing advantage between their products and POS debit, two providers of alternative payments schemes will fold or sell out cheap. Mar. Again tied to the Fed’s final rules – which won’t be ready by April 21 as required. Nice. Jun. Three on a match! FaceCash and Bling Nation shut down to “re-think” their business models. Tempo is both in a ditch and liquidating. Sep. Game over. • Starbucks will selectively open use of its proprietary prepaid card to retail partners. Target, with its 1,000 in-store coffee facilities, might be first. Mar. Nothing yet but it’s going to happen! Jun. Still waiting; come on guys, it’s the next logical step. Sep. Guys must be using too much of their decaf product. This is a slam dunk, Starbucks! If Facebook can it with Credits, so can you.

  • 5. TrendWatch Scorecard/Summary – Q2 2011 Industry Players To Watch Google and Partners: All may not be quite right as Google goes quiet about NFC and Verizon balks at supporting the search engine’s wallet. Heartland: If for no other reason to see what comes of its “Durbin Dollars” promotion. Positive USPS: If it survives, the Post Office plans to do a land office business with its prepaid gift card sales promotion during the holidays. An interesting Mixed study in human behavior if nothing else. Negative Visa and MasterCard: New merchant incentives will arrive Jan 2 in preparation for the April 2012 effective date for the network exclusivity High 1. New Payment Forms ban. Wonder how much of the $576 million in incentives Visa paid to issuers last quarter will find its way into retailers’ pockets. Med 2. ATM Restructuring Discover: Pretty much unscathed by Durbin and its cash rewards programs are still considered top-of-the-heap. Low 3. POS Volume Trend “Off-brand” Mobile: Bling Nation may be gone and mPayy is now part of another company but folks like Payfone and Billing Revolution are still High 4. Legal/Regulatory Issues gaining respect and big shares of a shrinking PE investments pie. Mixed 5. Prepaid Card Growth Market & Industry Situation 1 – The niche players are working the edges hard to avoid irrelevance. Med 6. Earnings Announcements 2 – Cardtronics has become acquisitive again. – Access To Money, et al. 3 – FIs are starting to kick up their penetration, activation and usage ratios to Low 7. Industry Investments build debit volume moats in light of Durbin. Good move. 4 – Banks and networks sued for ATM price fixing; states taking a shot at debit card fees, etc. We sense good holiday pay-outs for attorneys. 5 – Fed’s last minute loop-hole closure is starting to hurt. Not what prepaid is, but what it could have been. 6 – Players are hitting their numbers but putting out weak 2012 guidance numbers; not particularly comforting. 7 – Last quarter’s investment pace came to a grinding halt as the big money Dorado Industries moved back into gaming and device technology. So it goes. (310) 544-1316 655 Deep Valley Drive, Suite 125-P jmacallister@doradoindustries.com 5 Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 www.doradoindustries.com
  • 6. 2011 Payments Industry YTD Yields What a difference a quarter makes! Our basket of payments equities gave up $3.1 billion in market cap in Q3 while the Dow and S&P reversed their positive flows on a year-to-date basis, winding up the first nine months of 2011 with cumulative declines of 5.7 and 10 percent, respectively. Card brands and mainline processors were able to out-perform the indices while everyone else pretty much took it on the chin.

  • 7. Interesting News This Quarter Subject Source/Date Substance Google PaymentsSource • Those of us who believe mobile wallet is far less about payments than it is about offers won a October point when Google launched its “Featured Offers” service that includes only those discounted products and services that are unique to the Google wallet. And these offers ain’t chump change either; 10 to 15 percent off a basket of goodies at American Eagle, Macy’s and other swank shops. Tagattitude PaymentsSource • If you were amused by last quarter’s note regarding Zoosh by Naratte, here’s another chuckle. October Like Zoosh, France-based electronic transactions provider Tagattitude has introduced a TagPay application that uses sound to generate a one-time password at inaudible frequencies. The scheme currently works between smartphones or devices lacking NFC capabilities. Presently designed for the closed-loop market, plans for adaptation for use in the branded world are afoot. May not work well in pet stores or concession stands located at city zoos. The PaymentsSource article includes a priceless quote from Gareth Lodge, a Celent analyst, “debit cards are the overnight success that took 20 years to happen.” No truer words. NYCE Payments Network, Paybefore News • Its been quite a while since the announcement of a bilateral networking agreement has been LLC and LINK July published without reference to China UnionPay. This quarter, there were two. NCYE, the network owned by FIS, and LINK, the UK payments network, agree to mutual ATM access. Both networks insist that the agreement is designed to better customer service for their respective users. Guess Plus and Cirrus weren’t cutting it. PULSE and NETS BusinessWire • On the heels of the NYCE/LINK announcement PULSE, the ATM and POS network owned by October Discover, announces an ATM sharing arrangement that also enables NETS’ 285 member institutions to utilize PULSE for PIN debit transactions. The agreement also extends to ATM use in the ten-state market held by NETS for Discover and Diners Club cardholders. Online Virtual Good Fraud WSJ • Concern about fraud rearing its ugly head in online transactions was first raised by TrendWatch July three years ago. Back then, we were concerned by stolen credit cards being used at online gambling sites. Now we know that fraudsters are moving on to virtual goods purchased at non- gambling sites using stolen cards then sold at discounts at any number of secondary market websites. For instance, Cybersource announced at 1.9 percent of all online digital goods sales involved fraud. This compares unfavorably to 1.1 percent fraud experience posted by physical goods sellers. Just a word to the wise. Dorado Industries (310) 544-1316 655 Deep Valley Drive, Suite 125-P jmacallister@doradoindustries.com 7 Rolling Hills Estates, CA 90274 www.doradoindustries.com
  • 8. Interesting News This Quarter – Continued Subject Source/Date Substance Jumio PaymentsSource • Jumio is another one of those start-up companies doing the best it can to conquer the challenge of July online payments fraud. Its Netswipe system launched in July using a consumer’s webcam to verify that a shopper has a valid payment card before allowing a transaction to occur. The basic concept is that of converting the webcam into a card reader in an attempt to shift fraud liability away from the accepting merchant. Thus far, the card companies have yet to agree and transactions handled by Jumio’s technology remain card-not-present for pricing and fraud risk purposes. Two side benefits of the Netswipe system are a proven reduction in the number of “false positive” fraud hits when the app was subjected to side-by-side testing and halving of the cart abandonment rate in the same type of trial. Smile for the camera, Peggy. Google PaymentsSource • Had to happened sooner or later department. Google has entered the credit card market albeit in a July limited way. The search engine (and self-professed digital wallet guru) now offers a co-branded, limited purpose credit card dubbed “AdWords Business” in the hopes that the targeted segment of small retailers will use the card to pay for AdWords promotions and other business-related purchases. World Financial Capital Bank, an ILC owned by Alliance Data Systems, is the co-branding FI. One small step for Google, one giant leap for whom? Ah, Google. MasterCard American Banker • The rationale behind the acquisition of the TravelEx Card Program Management division by August MasterCard seemed a bit murky at first but now we have been given some clarity. The business unit has been rebranded as “Access Prepaid Worldwide” and Debra Janssen, already the group executive for MasterCard’s Integrated Processing Solutions division has been given a bigger hat to wear. Now, in addition to the payments technology she already leads, Ms. Janssen will apply her very capable skills to the task of earning a piece of the entire prepaid card value chain for MasterCard. Big job. FIS CU Times • What started out as footnote to the company’s quarterly earnings report in May appears to have taken August on a life of its own. Seems that the major transaction and core systems processor FIS has experienced a $13 million loss due to unauthorized activities associated with its Sunrise prepaid card processing system. Apparently cyber thieves were able to increase or eliminate the withdrawal limits for a mere 22 prepaid cards which they then cloned and distributed to “associates” all across Europe, Russia and the Ukraine. “Investigations remain on-going” says the August information update. We’re sure that’s the case. If the loss winds up being uninsured, FIS shareholders will take a 3¢ per share haircut.

  • 9. Interesting News This Quarter – Continued Subject Source/Date Substance Prepaid card industry in Paybeforelegal • The few of us business people who are still California residents have got to wonder why we bother. The California Others Sacramento legislature’s latest hare-brained idea was to put a stake through the heart of employers opting to September pay wages to employees not having bank accounts with prepaid payroll cards. CA S 931 would have required employers to offer a host of free services including: a replacement card every year, four free ATM withdrawals per pay period in network and one free withdrawal per pay period out of network, two free POS transactions per pay period, three free telephone calls to a live customer service representative per month, and so on. Fortunately, Governor Jerry Brown (“Moonbeam” to his closest friends) vetoed the bill but left the door open for Sacramento to give it another try next year. Need to check out the closest Ryder location. China UnionPay Finextra • Retail Banking Research reports that China UnionPay is now larger than Visa based on the number of cards August in circulation. CUP holds a slight advantage with 29.2 percent share. Not bad for a payments scheme that began operations a scant nine years ago; particularly when you consider that 99 percent of CUP’s cards are held by Chinese citizens. Note to merchants: 60 million Chinese traveled abroad last year. Gitanjali Group Fox News • No one seemed particularly amused when the first gold-dispensing ATMs were launched in Dubai and Boca October Raton earlier this year so perhaps the announcement made by Gitanjali Group will be a yawner too. The global manufacturer of branded jewelry has opened an ATM in a high-end shopping mall in Mumbai, India that dispenses diamond-studded pendants along with your run-of-the-mill gold coins and such. The company plans to roll out 75 of the devices throughout India in malls, airports and Hindu temples. Interchange pricing must be interesting. Office Depot BusinessWire • Office Depot partners with payments ISO Century Payments to offer merchant services processing for small October and medium-sized businesses. Century is led by a group of ex-Chase Paymentech executives with over 100 years of combined merchant services experience. Office Depot isn’t the first retailer to enter the payments fray (e.g., Costco) but their B2B approach looks pretty intriguing. Google Various • It’s one thing to pilot a new form of payments; it’s quite another to test your new widget in exactly the same September space as someone else. No matter, that’s what Google has decided to do with its announced launch of its wallet targeted at the NJ transit system – precisely the same field Isis plans to plow in Salt Lake City. Excuse me, but why? How about testing in a market where no one’s playing, learn from that Petri dish and learn from what the other guys experience in their pasture. It’s not like Isis intends to keep the results a secret and finding out how things went shouldn’t be tough. Lots of noise, it worked. Crickets, it didn’t. Seriously, guys.
