Buying Easier for Millions of Potential New Customers
Consumers in Australia and New Zealand will soon be able to enjoy enhanced

retailers and product providers, and these markets are a great fit for the
international expansion of InComm’s product sale and redemption expertise."
InComm technology delivers a number of fast-growing product categories
through InComm’s retail distribution network, the largest in the industry,
including the leading retailers in the big box, grocery, chain drug,
convenience, consumer electronics and other channels. Already the dominant
provider in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico, InComm recently extended
its reach to Europe with the launch of products and services in the United
Kingdom.
InComm has developed many patented and patent-pending technology solutions
that have drastically improved the entire purchase process, including product
design and packaging, distribution, retail activation and redemption,
stored-value data management and more, making InComm the most complete provider
in the marketplace today.
InComm has established an office in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to

Directors of the Australia and New Zealand operation. Boyer and Seedsman
previously directed the Coles Group and Myer gift card program, the largest

"Gift Cards will be an essential part of our offering in the region," Smith

selection that third-party gift card offerings provide, and we are very excited
about developing this market in Australia under the leadership of Adam and
Tamara."
