Pledge of Assurance to our Clients: Pay for Results….only

We put our expertise and the results we drive to the ultimate test – we are only paid from the

cost reductions as a result of our in-depth analysis, guaranteed. In other words, if you don’t make money engaging our service, we

don’t get paid for our efforts, period. Don’t you wish other vendors would guarantee results?

There are only 6 Payment Systems in the US and all methods of payments must travel through one of these systems:

Cash Wire Transfer Checking ACH Credit and Debit Card Systems (they are not the same)

There are many methods to make a payment today, such as: internet e-comm, bill pay, P2P, POS, telephone, mobile devices and many more now and to come. In order to transfer money a bank always has to be involved (i.e., usually in the “background”) and every payment method uses one of these 6 payment systems for the backbone of their service.

How Our Cost Reduction Program Works: (Con’t)

Timeline Usually need several months to implement solutions Each month calculate current cost (Effective rate) and compare to

baseline (Effective rate)

Example: Baseline: 2.5% 3 month; same calculation; same result 2.5% = no cost reduction = no

payment is due for our service 4th month 2%

Calculate cost reductions 2.5%-2%=.5% times volume for month and split the savings
