San
Antonio, TX, June 27, 2005 -- Payment Data Systems, Inc. (OTC
BB: PYDS) an integrated electronic payments solutions
provider, today announced
that it
continues to experience significant growth quarter over
quarter both in the total dollar value and volume of
transactions being processed.
With June nearly completed and closing our second quarter, we
can project, on an unaudited basis, that both the transaction
and dollar value volumes for June will show as PDS' best
processing month to date. Before this month, March of this
year was the highest transaction processing volume in our
history.
PDS continues
to experience quarter to quarter percentage growth in high
double digits both in terms of the number of transactions (ACH
and Credit Card) as well as the value of the transactions.
"We have been pleased to see a strong period of sustained
growth in our business since we began the significant ramping
of revenues late last year. Projecting our numbers into the
remainder of June, we do not see anything that suggests the Q2
growth percentages will result in anything different from the
prior trend," said Michael Long, CEO.
Long added, "We see this new benchmark as one that reinforces
a reasonable expectation of continued growth as we continue
our march toward profitability. Furthermore, it remains an
endorsement by the market of the viability and effectiveness
of our solutions."
