InstaPay Systems and Kryptosima Sign Stock for Stock Acquisition Agreement; InstaPay Systems to Acquire 100% of Kryptosima


SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 15, 2003--InstaPay Systems, Inc. (OTCBB:IPYS) announced today that it has signed an Agreement to Acquire 100% of Kryptosima LLC.

The acquisition of Kryptosima provides InstaPay the technology to launch its new plan for Internet payment transactions. Initially, InstaPay will market the technology to fund client's stock brokerage accounts. Kryptosima's technology is a unique, patent-pending platform, which is capable of providing secure payment transaction services for not only the on-line stock brokerage industry but the entire Internet eCommerce market. Acquiring Kryptosima expands InstaPay's market parameters beyond stock brokerages, to the entire eCommerce market. The acquisition should increase InstaPay's revenue and market share potential. eCommerce sales volume exceeded $50 Billion in 2001 and is forecasted by the Boston Consulting Group to have grown 41% in 2002. Kryptosima's technology should provide an opportunity to tap this rapidly growing market.

InstaPay and Kryptosima are in current discussions with stock brokerages, banks and ATM networks to coordinate and initiate the launch of Kryptosima's payENKRYPT system.

"We are very pleased with this transaction," stated Harry Hargens, President of Kryptosima. "The market opportunity for our services is very exciting, and the synergies in combining Kryptosima's technology and InstaPay's management and marketing resources should increase shareholder value."

InstaPay's focus is on the implementation of Internet payments via an ATM/Debit card from home or office, for transactions requiring a real-time guarantee of funds such as securities purchases.
