ARLINGTON, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 17, 2006 -- MyPublicInfo
(www.MyPublicInfo.com), a leading provider of identity scoring and monitoring
solutions for consumers, and Motivano (www.motivano.com), the top
B2B provider of electronic payment solutions for employee benefits and
consumer-directed health care (CDHC) accounts, today announced their
partnership to provide Motivano clients with IdentitySweep at a discounted
price. IdentitySweep is one of the first identity scoring services for
consumers.
"This partnership is a natural fit," says Pat Dane, Chief Revenue Officer
of MyPublicInfo. "Motivano ensures the safe transaction of employees'
payments and IdentitySweep is the ultimate tool to monitor that all
components of a consumer's identity are safe transaction after
transaction."
Identity scoring is a technology that scans public records to monitor the
different components of a consumer's identity individually (Social Security
number, name, address, credit card information...) and can quickly detect
irregularities such as an SSN being used in conjunction with a mismatched
name.
IdentitySweep is the only service that provides comprehensive, proactive
identity theft protection. It analyzes the suspicious activity to provide a
'risk score' that indicates how much and for how long a consumer's identity
has been compromised. It searches Internet newsgroups, search engines,
blogs, and hundreds of thousands of chat rooms and websites looking for
personal and financial information. It instantly notifies consumers by
email of any suspicious activity related to their personal information
before the consumer is victimized. This technology works much faster than
the credit card and credit bureau monitoring services, which alert a
consumer after they become a victim. It also scans the online directories
that list a consumer's information and requests removal of that information
to prevent abuse by telemarketers and identity thieves.
Motivano provides employees with an easy and secure way to pay for a
variety of services. Motivano's technology and flagship product, the
SmartFlex™ debit card, is a prepaid Visa card that enables employees to
pay for qualified healthcare, dependent care, transit, and parking expenses
with pre-tax dollars, all while using just one card. Motivano's intuitive
payment card technology debits the appropriate account, checks real-time
balances, and helps prevent inappropriate use.
"Our partnership with MyPublicInfo further reinforces the security of our
transactions," says Seif Saghri, CEO of Motivano. "We pride ourselves on
the quality of our services and IdentitySweep is the best product to
complement our offer. It allows our clients to verify that their identity
is safe at all times."
