Who We Are

Winners Internet Network is a company on the move. Conceived in 1995 and founded in 1997, the Company’s founders perceived early on the power and potential of the Internet for communication and commerce.

In 2001 Winners Internet Network moved the operational part of the company to Liechtenstein.

Sensing the enormous opportunity that this represented, they looked for a common denominator in the infrastructure that would be required to support this new business environment. That common denominator was the processing of financial transactions.

Financial Transactions – The Key to the Internet

At every level, the implementation of commerce via a medium such as the Internet would require the transfer of funds – whether for purchases of products, payment for services or other financial instruments.

At the heart of any such business transaction lies the transfer of money. And where such a transfer was to occur, there would be a need for the execution, clearing, tracking and accounting of such transfers. It was into this huge market that the company launched its development efforts.

Confidence, Security, Reliability

Realizing that the key to the success of this new medium lay in building customers’ confidence that their interactions on the web were protected and secure, Winners chose to develop, implement and test their financial systems in the most hostile of environments – transaction processing for Internet gaming.

Known as an arena subject to innumerable assaults and attacks on the integrity of its financial systems, the Company correctly ascertained that gaming provided the ultimate test for such a system – a system which could then be scaled to address the far greater marketplace of e-commerce.

What We’ve Accomplished

Over the last few years, Winners has developed and installed a secure, fully tracked, financial processing system, and successfully implemented this system to handle end-to-end transaction processing for the gaming industry.

The Company has built a powerful reputation in the industry as the full service provider, known for its reliability, integrity and responsiveness.

Where We’re Headed

While continuing to support and grow its profitable processing operations for the gaming business, Winners is now actively engaged in expanding the scope of its business operations to embrace the enormous potential of the e-commerce marketplace.

Not just a vision of the future, the Company has already executed a contract, implemented the system, and begun processing for the Internet e-commerce subsidiary of TA Media, one of the most successful media enterprises in Switzerland with daily newspapers, magazines, radio and TV stations.

High Praise

As further evidence of the high regard in which Winners processing operations are held, Juerg Grau CEO of TA Media’s Internet subsidiary stated, “the Winners solution was selected after an in-depth evaluation because of the company’s track record, efficiency, reliability and security. We’ve found a lot of promises on the market, but we needed instant availability and high quality."

Through its proprietary e-commerce system, Winners will process all classified advertising placement over the Internet, and is facilitating the company’s expansion into online magazine subscriptions and other product lines.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Winners Internet Network is a company on the move. The Company is working to rapidly position itself as one of the premier financial transaction processors and integrators in Europe. Through a series of recent acquisitions and partnerships, it has laid the groundwork for an integrated financial processing and e-commerce network that will offer compelling benefits and proprietary advantages over its competitors. Already profitable, the Company has now demonstrated that it can execute on this expanded vision by signing on the Internet subsidiary of a leading European media company for its processing services.

The company can now proceed simultaneously to become one of the leading and most secure enablers of financial transactions for others, while building out its own powerful e-commerce identity operating over the same network. We believe that this strategy will maximize shareholder value and insure a strong and prosperous future.
