About PayPoint
PayPoint is the leading cash and internet payments company in the UK
and Ireland, handling in excess of £5 billion in over 400 million
transactions annually for more than 5,000 clients and merchants. The
company operates with several significant payment streams:
* The PayPoint branded retail network numbers over 18,500
terminals located in local shops (including Co-ops, Spar,
Costcutter, Sainsburys Local, One Stop, Londis and thousands of
independents) in all parts of the UK and Ireland. Terminals handle
gas and electricity meter prepayments, cash bill payments, mobile
phone top-ups, transport tickets, London Congestion Charges, BBC TV
licences and a wide variety of other payment types for all of the
leading utilities, telecommunications suppliers and many consumer
service companies. This network is used by consumers, free of
charge, over 7 million times a week. The network has 97.3%
population cover on a 1 mile urban or 5 miles rural measure;
* Additional multiple retailer connections into the
electronic till systems of nearly 4,000 outlets including BP,
Somerfield and Superdrug for mobile top ups and selected payments
from the PayPoint range;
* The PayPoint ATM network has 1,979 'LINK'-branded
machines across the UK, also typically in convenience stores;
* PayPoint Internet Payment Services (PPIPS), trading as
Metacharge and SECPay, provides secure credit and debit card
payments for over 4,000 web merchants linking into all the major UK

added, emulating the UK branded retail network. PayPoint
International also operates Irish bill payment and top-up services.
