e-street.com teams with earthport to offer e-wallet payment scheme.

CORPORATE IT UPDATE-(C)1995-2000 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

Secure Internet payment system provider earthport has signed a partnership agreement with e-street.com, the online city guide to London, to offer e-wallet payment schemes to e-street.com users.

Under the agreement, earthport's

server-side e-wallet technology will be integrated with e-street's business directory to enable e-street's Internet and WAP users to locate a retailer and pay for goods using earthport's secure system.

There is also an advantage for e-street member businesses, who will be able to accept secure, real-time payments.

The e-wallet system stores multi-currency details of payment cards and cash available to be spent online via PCs and WAP-enabled devices. earthport holds all private information offline on its secure servers, meaning that all transactions take place offline within a closed environment.
