Bill Express, in providing the capability to distribute and authorise a prepaid micro payment transaction, is believed to be the first company to provide this leading edge service to the Australian market. Bill Express has provided the distribution of value and the management of the transaction authorisation process for the recently launched speciality website www.musicandgames.com.au. The prepaid service allows consumers to purchase music and games safely, securely and conveniently without the need for a credit card. This micro-payments capability created by Bill Express opens up the world of Internet shopping to the people who don’t have credit cards and those people who do not shop on the internet due to security fears. “Dealing with only one company, Bill Express for in-store terminals and for download authorisation has made this a simple project. There is absolutely no need for a credit card transaction to be involved and we are looking forward to growing volumes of music and games down loads” said John Slack-Smith General Manager Computers and Communications Harvey Norman. Harvey Norman has Bill Express terminals in their stores that distribute the vouchers and consumers can now purchase a prepaid voucher at any Harvey Norman store which can be redeemed on the www.musicandgames.com.au website. The website is the result of an agreement between Harvey Norman Limited (ASX: HVN) and Destra Corporation Limited (ASX: DES), Australia’s leading Digital Rights Management (DRM) provider. Yours faithfully, Marc Lichtenstein Company Secretary
