Mint Partners With Now Prepay To Establish A Nationwide Rollout For The Sale And Reloading Of Prepaid Credit Cards

Toronto, November 9, 2005 -Mint Inc., a subsidiary of Mint Technology Corp. (TSX-V: MIT), and Now Prepay, a subsidiary of VendTek Systems Inc. (TSXV: VSI), announced the creation of a partnership that will be able to sell and reload cards from Mint's portfolio of prepaid credit cards. Mint's products will be distributed through Now Prepay's national network in Canada. Among the initial retailers included in the network are Super Save Gas, Time Out convenience stores, Pioneer Petroleums and participating Esso locations across the country.

Under an agreement signed today, Now Prepay will provide a secure point-of-sale system for activating and reloading Mint's prepaid credit cards over Now Prepay's existing national prepaid network. Retailers participating in the program will prominently display the Mint logo. Customers will be able to purchase prepaid credit cards at designated locations and existing cardholders will be able to reload their prepaid credit card with funds.

"Now Prepay has an estimated 7,300 retail partner locations in Canada. We believe offering a product that has a proven and very successful track record in the United States will provide them with untapped revenue potential," said Doug Buchanan, President, Now Prepay, "In addition, the distribution and reloading of Mint's prepaid credit cards is a complementary product to the extensive and established prepaid network we currently have in place."

"This is the first stage in developing our comprehensive top-up network in convenience stores, grocery chains, pharmacies, gas stations, etcetera for prepaid credit cards across Canada," said Frank Maduri, President, Mint Inc., "The ability to reload a prepaid account from a convenient location will be an important feature for those cardholders who do not have access to online banking."

Because no credit check is required, prepaid credit cards offer a necessary alternative method of payment to many Canadians. Individuals who may require the convenience and security of a traditional credit card, but are unable to qualify due to credit issues and age requirements, are now able to obtain a prepaid, reloadable credit card. Mint's prepaid credit cards can be used at the millions of worldwide locations where traditional credit cards are accepted today including retailers, websites, mail order, mobile purchases and ATM cash withdrawals.
