[img_assist|nid=8096|title=|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=100|height=27]Under the new partnership of InComm, a leading provider of prepaid transaction processing and electronic point-of-sale (POS) distribution solutions, American Cash Exchange, Inc., a personal payment solutions provider, and the creator of the Poni(R) Card, a US-to-Mexico money remittance card sold in peso values, individuals living in the United States who transfer money internationally will be able to purchase and instantly transfer money to Mexico via Poni Cards. 

The operating principle is as follows. A person to receive money transfer uses a card resembling an ATM card to withdraw peso transfers. For these purposes 26,000 ATM machines in Mexico are available 24/7. The recipient or the purchaser is not to be charged any unexpected fee. They do not need to have a bank account or an ATM card. Besides Poni Card includes a free call to Mexico which allows the consumer to advise the redemption number that is needed for the recipient to cash the transfer. At first, the peso denominated cards are planned to have 2000 peso face value. Other denominations will come later. Upon the activation of the card at a retail check-out the recipient may immediately withdraw 2000 pesos from an ATM in Mexico, using the number prompted by the purchaser.
"By delivering this cutting edge remittance technology, InComm's retailer customers will be able to provide the Hispanic community with access, at 145,000 retail locations, to the most convenient remittance option in the world," said Brooks Smith, InComm President and CEO. "InComm is committed to providing our customers with the best pre-paid products available in the marketplace today, and we are very excited to offer American Cash Exchange's Poni Card. Today's announcement reflects our dedication to augment our product offerings for our retailers," he added.

"Only Poni Cards provide 24/7 availability when receiving money transfers. Our relationship with InComm ensures that these revolutionary products will be available to the grocery, drug, convenience and 'big box' chains, thereby gaining widespread consumer availability for the solution," said Don Licciardello, CEO of American Cash Exchange.

"This innovative product in the prepaid and remittance industries allows for a complete money transfer 24 hours per day, taking advantage of the ubiquity of cash dispensing machines," he added.
