Press Release Body = OLYMPIA, WA, April 2007 - Fast Transact Inc., a leader in
credit card processing and payment gateway solutions, is pleased to announce their
strategic partnership with Escapia, a Seattle-based company that develops top-rated
software applications for vacation rental property management. The partnership
consolidates both companies' expertise and technology strengths to address their
clients' daily operation needs for professional rental management tools and payment
integration.

Tourism is the third largest retail industry in the United States, of which the
typical lodging customer travels 48% for business and 52% for leisure. FAST
TRANSACT's Rental Payment Management (RPM) program is geared towards the lodging
industry's specific needs for credit card and check payment acceptance. Its Cost
Plus Pricing structure ensures there are no hidden fees and RPM has the flexibility
to integrate seamlessly with most retail and online reservation, property
management, and POS systems. Escapia provides the leading Internet business
platform for professional vacation rental managers and its web-based solutions help
vacation rental companies increase efficiency and boost their income. Escapia
powers their online reservations, streamlines reservation management, opens up new
sources of revenue, enhances security and provides unparalleled flexibility in
managing their business.

"Having Escapia partner with Fast Transact is a great win for our customers, who
benefit from a company that specializes in payment solutions designed specifically
for vacation rental managers," said Bill Furlong, CEO of Escapia. "Fast Transact's
solutions are compatible with the Escapia platform so our customers are able to
process payments within the software. At Escapia, we are dedicated to helping our
clients manage their entire business in one place; partnering with Fast Transact
helps us achieve that goal."

David Solomon, CEO of Fast Transact Inc, states, "RPM caters specifically to the
lodging reservation process. Our knowledge of payment processing and how it
interfaces with various reservation methods is the key to helping merchants
understand how to reduce non-qualified transactions and eliminate inappropriate
hidden fees. Escapia's software is designed to help vacation rental managers
administer properties, online reservations, accounting, and other essential portions
of their businesses. By looking at how our clients use various software to book and
manage millions of reservations, the partnership with Escapia seemed to be a natural
step in expanding our product and service offerings. I believe this alliance allows
both parties to provide start-to-finish solutions for existing and new customers in
the resort property management and vacation rental industries."
