Web Services Verification Proves Effective

transmodus.net clients access real-time check and ACH verification through their own POS or billing systems

Oxnard, CA; May 23, 2005 - JUSTCHEX, LLC. JU$TCHEX, the technology leader in online processing of returned checks for payment, announced today that their account and funds verification Web service through transmodus.net, is helping clients dramatically reduce their cost of processing ACH and check payments. The cost reduction is the direct result of confirming funds to avoid returns and the associated fees before presenting the ACH or check transactions for bank processing.

Blue Casa Communications, one of the fastest growing local phone companies in the country, is based in Santa Barbara, California, and a transmodus client who recently deployed the ACH and check verification service. Blue Casa's customer service representatives can now access and perform ACH and check verification in real time using transmodus.net when accepting customer payments. The verification is seamlessly integrated into Blue Casa's payment system. The Company has seen a 70% reduction in ACH and check returns since incorporating transmodus.net Web services verification into its payment processing.

"Integrating the transmodus.net verification Web service functionality with our payments system was a simple process. It took a day to complete the project and has made a major impact on reducing our ACH and check returns. ACH and check returns are expensive to process. By reducing the number of returns, transmodus.net significantly lowers our payment processing costs," according to Brian Plackis-Cheng, CFO of Santa Barbara based, Blue Casa Communications.

transmodus.net provides a self contained installation document with instructions required to install and deploy the account and funds verification Web service. There are no installation fees. Clients pay per transaction and can access activity reporting statements to reconcile all charges.
