Press Release Summary: Intabill a global credit card processing merchant accounts
provider has opened an advanced and unique 100 seat capacity call centre in
Australia. Due to a rapidly increasing demand for their services, and a concern
over the quality of call centre support provided by outsourced call centre's,
Intabill have setup a state of the art call centre that focuses on the needs of
merchant clients, their customers and the call center staff that support them.

Press Release Body: London United Kingdom ( Expresspressrelease ) 10-26-2007 With
state of the art military standard communication technology and security systems, a
super flat management structure, and almost no traditional KPI's, this is far from
an ordinary call centre. Intabill is not a
conventional company, and they don\'t intend to become one. In 2003 when Intabill
first started providing merchant account
services, the call centre operation was outsourced to call centres in Los
Angeles and Costa Rica. Due to concerns over the quality of call support, in June
2007 the call centre operation was moved in-house to new offices being established
in Brisbane, Australia. The aim was to create a world class 24/7 call centre that
would provide a superior level of friendly phone support to merchant account clients
and their customers, through motivated professionals and the latest technology.

Now in operation for just over 3 months, their call centre is actually run in
essence by the call operators themselves, with little emphasis placed on
conventional call centre metrics. In many call centres the focus is on metrics, and
they do not deny there is a place for these. However at intabill, "management
believe that the focus should initially be on people, the teams, and what they
collectively think will deliver the best results. Managers of the business are not
seen as the rule setters and enforcers, but more as facilitators and mentors". Call
centre management merely facilitate the interaction and communication by staff
towards a positive team unit, who as a unit mould the way customer service levels
are provided and improved upon. Staffs are empowered to have open conversations to
their peers across the business, ensuring maximum efficiency business wide. The
call centre team regularly meets and interacts with other departments/teams within
the business, to ensure seamless cross functional support and communication.

In fact many departments of Intabill are regularly interacting with clients by
phone. Services delivered with a strong phone element include:

- Online real-time customer interactions and inbound support by the "A-Team"

- Online fraud investigations and security by a "Guardians Team"

- International collections by the "Roundup Team"

- Retention, loyalty programs and VIP account management by a dedicated
"Concierge Team"

When planning the setup of the call centre, management not only focused on the needs
of their customers, but more importantly on the employees that would interact with
them. Intabill has a hiring process that focuses a lot on the mindset and
behaviours desired from future employees, which has led to them hiring passionate
people from diverse backgrounds. They appear to have nurtured a unique and open
minded culture that encourages individual ideas, actioned through team effort.

Intabill provides a positive work environment, where highly talented professionals
share a vision and have a great time doing it. Team members at Intabill are
encouraged to constantly question and challenge the way things are done, looking for
ways that will not only make customers happier, but also foster a happier work
environment at the same time. The result to date is that they are forging cohesive
teams, which strive on challenges and deliver the highest level of client service.

What is also impressive about their call centre setup is the use of clean modern
design and the latest technology. Intabill is in the process of constructing one of
the most advanced call centre set ups in Australia, and arguably the world. State
of the art facilities already in place or under construction include:

- Large staff "chill out" room furnished with large LCD television screens,
Foxtel, games machines, pool table, heavily subsidised snack and drink facilities,
plus a sun deck overlooking the Brisbane River

- Modern interior designed offices incorporating multi textured surfaces,
ergonomic furniture and a relaxed open plan layout

- The latest generation Toshiba Strata telephone system utilising cutting edge
digital technology installed on converged platforms with fixed and virtual networks

- Military standard recording system, as used by US government departments such
as the FBI, which is capable of storing up to 75,000 hours of voice recording

The recording system is about to be installed and can be quickly searched for any
specific keyword. This will be of particular value to our security investigations
team, but will also be used to ensure call quality levels are monitored and
constantly improved upon. If for example staff needed to look back on an issue,
they could type related keywords such as "cancel transfer", and the system will
quickly build a report showing the frequency, dates and times of all calls
containing these keywords. They could then select and listen to any conversation
that has taken place through their call centre.

This recording system is just one technology tool, which will help intabill gain
advantage in a competitive global market. They know however from their experience
with outsourced call centres, it is the people within your call centre that make the
key difference. Innovation, smart business practices, and most of all their focus
on people, is helping intabill become a world leading e-commerce Company.
