It's their new P/R firm they hired to spread the word. It is about time. You gotta love what is happening right now and the direction this company is moving!!
To All living on the east coast please stay safe this coming week dealing with the horrible weather heading your way.
Isn't the one good side that it is trading millions and millions of shares and that interest is being shown? When you have high volume like today does that not put this stock on everybody's radar?
I believe Bell is a girl so "No Balls" is an accurate statement!!
Looks like they hired a firm to put their Audited Financials together. P/R came out this morning!!
I believe Orange County visiting hours are on the weekend so thats when most of the public would be doing their money loads. Makes sense. Let's also remember they are doing bail as well and there are no freebies for bail.
Maybe they do most of there money load business on the weekends where there are no free options.
It appears they are just "Killing It" in Orange County. A buddy of mine lives in Southern California and went by their main jail yesterday ( Saturday ) and said hundreds and hundreds of people non stop using the kiosks in the lobby. Windows closed and the EZ kiosks are the only option to load money to an inmates account. Gotta love it!!!
No doubt that tigger works for the competition or an x employee. Seems to knows way to much about the goings on with this company and others in the industry.
Hey Strom, what's wrong with Tiger's answer "West Coast"? Figure it was a county facility in either California, Oregon or Washington. You have 141 counties to choose from.
Isn't it possible it is their own call center??
Lawdog, I believe each jail does different things with EZ. Some may do all of it..bail, money load debit card, etc. Some may only do one thing such as money load and thats it. Hard to come up with a per inmate $$ amount.
Lawdog, looks like Alternative Payments may be the future here!!

Bell, please tell me why you continue to post on this blog when you have no skin in the game? What is it that keeps bringing you back to this forum on a daily basis other than the need to let everyone know that " I made $$$ on other investments today"
Lynwood, Ca. is close to Irvine, Ca. where their corporate office is located. Things are starting to make a little more sense!!!
It appears EZ is up and running in Fulton County, GA.

I would think the number you came up with would be a Gross Profit number. The company must have overhead costs. Credit card processing fee's, collections, banking, etc, etc. Just a thought!
This is GREAT!! It looks like EZ can take just about any type of payment out there!!
Keefe is a commissary company. I would think two different types of money handling.
Maybe you should look to Frank Hofmeister to verify what he is putting out for all to read in his resume.
Being that GPSI is a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of CPSI per their annual report ending Dec. 2010 posted on pinksheets Jan. 24th 2012, they are part of the parent company which benefits all shareholders.
Thank you lawdog and fermec for clearing up all this confusion between ezpaycorp being part of ezpaymentsystems or gpsi.
newpontiac, can you please share where you found information that GPSI has collected over 7 million in licenses. Thank you in advance.
Thx!
lawdog, what county do you see listed in Alaska on their website? I do not see what you are talking about when I pull up their ezmoneyload website.
Of course there are better ways to raise money. That is if you want to give up 20% - 40% of your company. I believe they still own 100% of CPSZ. That says a lot right there!!!
If they did not agree to the 20% loans back when would they be here today doing business?????? My guess is NO!! Sometimes you do what you do to survive and make it to the next day. I still feel this can be a GREAT story when it all comes out. Humble Beginnings 2008 / Thriving Company 2013.
I would think if EZ is tied directly into the jails system and the money loads and bail are posted immediately in real time to the inmates account why would they be considered a Money Trasmitter if they are not holding the funds?? Does this make sense??
Surf, with so many shares on the open market how can this stock possibly run back up to levels ( .19 )we had seen back in April of 2011??
I posted a while back that there are kiosks installed at Orange county. I had a friend who lives in the area walk into the lobby and confirm kiosks have been bolted to the ground. Most likely what is taking all the time to go live is they probably have to tie in with the jails IT dept. This can be a long tedious process which does not happen over night. Obviously lots of patience is required when dealing with government
I have learned over the years that sometimes it is not "What You Know" but "Who You Know" that lands you on your feet!! I believe Touchpay has been around since 1997 and they are a reputable company. Granted they do not have everything EZ has except for more history. Maybe that was the deciding factor that got them Fresno. Who knows
I was told through a little birdie I know that a bunch of news is coming out next week. I have no idea what the news is about ( I would guess all good )but we should find out soon enough.
Very impressive FastFish!! Looks like this company is expanding into several different County deptartments!!! They must be coming out soon with financials. Holding tight!!
I believe "Police Central" is in over 100 accounts and has a great reputation in the Corrections space. Just look at the writing on the wall here and what EZ is doing. How can I not load up with more shares at this price based on the direction everything is going!!
You promise??
Here is my take on what's going on with EZ if anyone cares. 2008 is when the company starts. Great idea that makes a lot of sense. Housing bubble bursts and everyone you know is under water. Small business, Banks, etc. Capital/funding is hard to come by as no institutional money can be found. Banks are not lending to anyone so you find loans at a horrible interest rate. 20% - YUCK!! This is just to survive with hopes of small growth and weathering the storm which you hope is only for a short period of time. Unfortunately to date times are still very tough but getting a little better. You are still surviving barely rubbing two nickels together with ridiculous loans that need to be paid back. As they prove their idea and their name starts to show up on the radar they start to slowly turn the corner. This is where I think they are right now. I admire the tenacity of this EZ group of people hanging in there. 42 accounts established during these tough times and I have no idea how they did it but here they are. This is only my view of what's happening from the outside looking in. Take it for what it's worth!!
You have to start somewhere!! GO EZ GO!!!
After a little research it turns out that Police Central in located in well over 100 accounts. What a great partnership and a tremendous growth opportunity for Ez Card!!!
WOW!! What a find!! Fastfish, how did you come across this??
All Good Fermec!! Misread on my part. GO EZ GO!!!
