PSN provides mobile payment service to members

Philadelphia, January 12, 2010: XIPWIRE today announced it has partnered with the largest adult recreational sports network in Center City, Philadelphia Sports Network (PSN). XIPWIRE offers a secure way for PSN team captains to collect league fees from teammates through a simple text message. Captains have the ability to manage transactions to efficiently track who has and has not paid. By eliminating cash and check transactions, managing team payments and collecting money has never been easier.
Through a user-friendly online registration, PSN prompts team captains and individual players to the XIPWIRE Teammate Payment Tool. Complete step-by-step instructions, including diagrams, make using XIPWIRE for all PSN members easy and convenient. In addition, XIPWIRE’s patent-pending technology provides a secure platform to guard against unauthorized access and potential fraudulent activity. Industrial strength encryption, PIN-based authentication, Instant Phone Lock, and Anonymous ID, among many other features, create a safe environment in which both captains and teammates can confidently conduct transactions.
“PSN is one of the early adopters of mobile technology in Philadelphia. They saw right away that XIPWIRE could reduce the hassle of collecting money and streamline the process for their captains by working with us to create the XIPWIRE Teammate Payment Tool. It has been great working with a company like PSN that is so dedicated to providing its members with the best experience possible. After meeting with Jason and Ryan, PSN’s co-founders and directors, you get the sense that they personally know all 6,000 members,” said Sibyl Lindsay, VP of Sales and Marketing, XIPWIRE.
“We are very excited to work with XIPWIRE. Utilizing their new mobile technology will allow PSN participants a safe and innovative way to easily collect registration fees from teammates without having to use cash or checks. We are constantly looking for ways to improve the
