MUTM Mutual Merchant Services Inc (GM)

Mutual Merchant Services (PINKSHEETS: MUTM) (German WKN# A0Q8CV) announces that it has completed the conversion of mobile market credit card processing services for Christian organizations and businesses nationwide via its previously announced affiliation with Zion Systems, LTD. Mutual's entry into this sector is expected to add over $20 million annually in additional processing volume.

"In the first week, with just our initial Zion Systems clients, we have added over $50,000 in new processing volume," said Gil Gillis, Mutual's Board Chairman and CEO. "Mutual demonstrated its competence by quickly implementing the service, and capitalized on this speed by gaining holiday volume that would otherwise be missed. We are all very energized by this accomplishment," Gillis said, adding, "Here's another example of the kinds of things we do to continually advance our goal of rapidly and significantly increasing our total processing volume."
