Dear Reader,

The headline says it all...

Sage Global Announces Acquisition and Major Corporate Changes

New Direction to Provide Electronic Payment Solutions and Essential Financial Services to Domestic and International Insurance Carriers and Underserved Consumer Segments

the full version of the press release is available HERE

An informational report “The Other Side of the Immigration Coin” focusing on economic aspects of the immigration issue in America has been published by SmallCap Sentinel analyst D.R. Clark and is available at www.ClarkReport.com.

The report is the first in an ongoing series addressing issues of importance to investors of Latino-centric companies including payment processor Sage Global Solutions (Pink Sheets:SGGL), which endeavors to service underserved Hispanic consumers.  The immigration issue is among the foremost discussions in the national conversation, amplified even more so by the candidates seeking the presidency.  Companies that identify and successfully market to the growing constituency of Hispanic consumers, especially those who are disenfranchised by policy or process, may well reap rewards for their shareholders.  

In the next few days a full profile will be published by StockUpTicks.com on Sage Global and its efforts to serve the "under-banked" population of Hispanic immigrants in our country with a variety of innovative financial services.

    About PrimeStar Financial

PrimeStar Financial (PrimeStar) offers “money solutions” to consumers and businesses that experience difficulties with delivery and negotiation of financial instruments as payment for goods and services. 

For businesses, PrimeStar offers solutions that reduce or eliminate the costs and hassles of issuing checks to employees, members, insureds, or service providers both domestically and internationally. Mailing, processing time, lost checks, fraud, and problems cashing checks are a thing of the past with PrimeStar. PrimeStar programs are capable of serving domestic and international employers for a variety of needs ranging from employee payments to health insurance reimbursements. Employers, associations, church groups, insurance companies, labor unions, and third party administrators have all found benefits to using PrimeStar’s products. 

For consumers PrimeStar is able to offer banking and financial services that for some are difficult, if not impossible, to obtain. *please see the Brookings Institute report available below. Consumers utilizing PrimeStar are able to avoid the high costs of being without a bank account.  In addition, PrimeStar customers are able to take advantage of PrimeStar’s excellent customer service to fully understand and utilize their PrimeStar account. 

For consumers with relatives outside of the U.S., PrimeStar is able to provide debit cards, and discounted fund transfers, that can be much more cost effective to the consumer than check cashing and money transfer services.  As consumers become comfortable with PrimeStar debit card technology, they develop trust that transfers to other PrimeStar products that are often overlooked by the consumer segment serviced by the PrimeStar card. PrimeStar will deliver basic insurance (car, renter, home, life) through the same infrastructure that services the PrimeStar debit cards.

PrimeStar 
utilizes debit card technology as an entrée to deliver its services throughout the world 

PrimeStar looked at the current use of the debit card as primarily a payroll mechanism and said “we can do better.”  So many industries have a need for re-occurring electronic payments but lack the information or means to do so. A debit card can be a solution to this problem. 

Consumers without checking accounts have few options for payroll, money remittance, and bill payments.  The only options they have left are all high cost - Check cashing.  Money remittance services.  Bill payment services. Money orders.  PrimeStar debit cards help consumers by eliminating high cost check cashing, streamlining money transfers, offering online bill payments, and giving cardholders the ability to load their cards at any PrimeStar location. 

No other debit card in PrimeStar's segment can offer this capability




PrimeStar utilizes the MasterCard® platforms

convenient and cost effective

Whether it’s a parent sending money to a kid away at college, or an employer paying his or her employees, transferring money is part of life. The PrimeStar Card is a prepaid cash card that works much like a traditional bank debit card for purchases at stores of all types and for cash withdrawals at ATMs.

For instance, as a parent with a child away at school, instead of just sending money or entrusting them with a credit card without limitations, you can send them a PrimeStar Card, which is easy to order using our convenient account management system. Monies are easily transferred in real time, allowing you to place a variety of “card use” restrictions. This allows parents to prevent the card to be used to purchase items like “alcohol and tobacco”, or place limits like “only purchase items on campus.” The PrimeStar Card offers parents convenience and peace of mind.

And for employers, additional benefits which are especially attractive to your un-bankable and immigrant workers are:

* No more check cashing fees
* An end to costly money transfer fees
* The Flexibility of a MasterCard Debit Card

Employees can easily transfer monies from their Payroll Card into their bank accounts or can immediately go to one of over 790,000 ATMs around the world to get cash. In addition, as PrimeStar Card holders, they too can order “wallet” cards to be sent to loved ones in other countries, allowing them to transfer money.
