SelectCore Announces Interact Online Reloads for Iridium Mobile Banking App

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 21, 2011) - SelectCore Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:SCG), a prepaid telecom and financial services provider for the under-banked consumer market, is pleased to announce the launch of the Company's second-generation mobile banking Blackberry app for Iridium MasterCard.

The Company previously announced the initial launch of 'Interact Online reloads' in June of 2011 followed by the release of its Iridium mobile banking app in September. This mobile platform is the first of its kind to offer instant mobile value loads to a prepaid stored-value card.

In addition, the mobile banking app also allows cardholders to conveniently:
check their account balance
view recent transaction history including purchases, loads and more
money-share between other Iridium cardholders in real-time
and more

Cardholders can conveniently manage their account while on the go 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week, 365-days-a-year. The added functionality of the Interact Online reload option now allows cardholders and more importantly, the 'banked' to fund the 'unbanked' in real-time.

This convenient reload option is secure and easy to use, allowing funds to be transferred directly and instantaneously from an existing bank account using Interact Online technology.

"This innovative feature allows us to significantly broaden our demographic audience from the unbanked to mainstream consumers such as parents and teenagers, students and friends and family abroad" said Keith McKenzie, CEO of SelectCore.

"This revolutionizes the way consumers will use and fund prepaid cards", said Ryan Deslippe, President of SelectCore. "Cardholders or their friends and family can now reload an Iridium card from anywhere in the world, instantly from their mobile device."

SelectCore also intends to include this new feature with the launch of its iPhone and Android mobile banking app releases.

The next phase of the Company's mobile strategy is to introduce a complete 'mobile wallet' solution utilizing near-field communications (NFC) payment technology. As payment networks, processors and acquirers continue to deploy NFC technology and point-of-sale devices, Iridium customers will be able to use their mobile wallet instead of a traditional card to make purchases at millions of merchant locations worldwide.
