UseMyServices Betas New Micro-Payment Service

Toronto, Canada, May 13, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Toronto-based UseMyServices announced today that the company is poised to enter the social games and digital downloads niches with a new micro-payment service. The initial launch will be in Canada and the UK, followed by Mexico and Australia, with the US being added in late Q3, if not sooner.

The social games niche is one of the fastest growing ‘money niches’ online. If you aren’t into Facebook or MySpace, you might be surprised to learn that an estimated 1.6 billion dollars will be spent this year purchasing ‘virtual goods’ by the players of such popular social games as Farmville and Mafia Wars.

The digital downloads niche, which includes the hard-hit newspaper industry, is also a major target for this service. With the average purchase being under $5.00, information downloads have struggled to find a cost effective payment solution for them.

“With our real-time payment technology, we can lower both the cost and risk dramatically,” states UseMyServices Founder/CEO, Joseph Iuso. “We provide a very safe and cost effective means for the game provider to expand into new global markets, where credit cards are usually not the most common payment method, with very little risk.”

UseMyServices’s proprietary technology lets consumers use their online bank account to shop online, without exposing any financial details to anyone.

“Our technology is really the ‘next generation’ for global payments,” adds Melody Wigdahl, who heads up the company’s Merchant Services division. “We already have a major games platform working with us during the beta period, and hope to add one or two more very shortly, since their feedback is invaluable at this point. We still have a few slots available for Merchants that would be interested in participating in the beta - we offer a very aggressive pricing structure in exchange for their feedback and assistance in 'tweaking' the platform features and functionality, and of course - that 'first to market' edge!”

UseMyServices, Inc. anticipates a full launch of the service within 60 days. Merchants interested in participating in the beta can apply at UseMyServices.com/micro-beta
