VENDTEK'S WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY NOW PREPAY SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH GLOBAL PAYMENTS

May 9, 2005 - VendTek Systems Inc. (TSX-V: VSI) ("VendTek" or "The Company"), a leading developer of software for the prepaid service distribution industry, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary Now Prepay Corp. ("Now Prepay") has entered into an agreement with Global Payments in Canada.

As a result of this agreement, Global Payments has certified VendTek's e-FreshÔ Now Prepay client software on selected Canadian POS terminals and will make the service available to Global Payments' Canadian customers. This new channel will add to the growing number of Canadian retailers that are able to provide their consumers with Now Prepay's large variety of prepaid services. Any merchant with the software can elect to sell such prepaid services as Cellular Phone Account top ups and Long Distance Calling Plans from their enabled Global Payments processing terminal.

By using Now Prepay, merchants can offer their customers an extensive selection of prepaid services more easily and efficiently and without the need to hold or manage a physical inventory of prepaid cards. Additionally, the elimination of large onsite card inventory reduces security risks and out of stock concerns, providing "just in time" availability, thereby increasing merchants' cash flows and allowing them to only pay for the product they sell, when they sell it.

Now Prepay President, Doug Buchanan commented, "We are very excited about our new relationship with Global Payments, a recognized leader in payment processing in Canada. Providing Canadian merchants with a more cost effective and profitable method to service their customers' prepaid phone card needs is our prime objective, and working with Global Payments will allow a larger number of Canadian merchants to benefit from our solutions".

"Global Payments is committed to delivering as much value as we can to our merchants," said Jordan E. Cohen, president of Global Payments, Canada. "Enabling our Canadian customers access to Now Prepay's prepaid products will give them a wider ranger of services through the Point of Sale terminal and help contribute to their profitability."
