Circle K and Info Touch Technologies to expand Zaplink Program.

"New multi-year agreement expands scope of service offerings as well as 
number of locations."

TEMPE, AZ and BURNABY, BC, Aug. 29 /CNW/ - Circle K Stores Inc.
(www.circlek.com) (ATD: TSX) and Info Touch Technologies Corp.
(www.infotouch.net) (IFT: TSX Venture Exchange) today jointly announced a new
multi-year agreement to continue to grow the Zaplink program not only in the
number of locations but also in terms of the services provided.
Zaplink is Circle K's branded self-service automated kiosk that provides
convenience store patrons the ability to pay wireless, cable, utility and
other bills in cash, purchase prepaid products and services, transfer money,
browse the Internet and perform a variety of other functions.
Circle K and Info Touch have developed a recurring revenue model, driven
primarily by customer funded transaction fees mainly from bill pay
applications. In July 2005, Circle K customers engaged in more than 75,000
Zaplink transactions. Info Touch is working to add new billers, pre-paid
products and other financial services to serve more of Circle K's customers'
needs.
"Zaplink is a key element in our strategy to deliver self-serve financial
services to the more than two million customers who visit us each day in a
fast, convenient, and hassle-free manner", said Dan Stiel, Manager of
Financial Services of Circle K Stores, Inc. "Info Touch has been a partner in
this development for more than four years and is well-qualified to help us
deliver our vision into the future."
"We are very pleased to have Circle K as marquee partner in our TIO
Network", said Hamed Shahbazi, Chairman and CEO of Info Touch Technologies.
"Circle K has been an excellent partner in the development, refinement and
implementation of Zaplink".
There are currently approximately 194 Zaplink kiosks deployed in 5
states. Both companies' objective is to not only grow the number of locations
but also the selection of billers and other financial services available.
