HOUSTON, Texas - November 29, 2005 -Commerciant, LP, a leader in wireless, handheld payment processing solutions, today announced it has secured $2 million in venture financing from new investors, Houston-based Aegis Texas Venture Fund, LP (Aegis TVF) and Austin-based Accent Texas Fund I, LP. This financing brings the company’s total capital raised to date to over $12 million. Commerciant will use the new capital to expand its marketing, sales and operations to meet growing demand for wireless payment processing solutions.

“Commerciant has by far the best handheld device for wireless credit card processing in virtually any location. With the upcoming introduction of its mobile check processing functionality, Commerciant can offer a solution unmatched by competitors and gain significant market traction”, said Kevin Dragan, Partner and Chief Financial Officer with Aegis TVF. “By establishing new channels of distribution, including agent sales through a company ISO program, Commerciant will continue to build its market share as well as allow its resellers to create new revenue streams, including those from enabling the wireless processing of checks,” said Mansoor Ghori, Managing Director and Chief Investment Officer of Accent Texas Fund.

“This new funding enables Commerciant to put in place the infrastructure it needs to build on its current success and accelerate a widespread market presence”, said Tim Davis, Chairman and CEO of Commerciant. “Our products and solutions, which are second to none, have broad appeal to the numerous sales channels that we are in the process of establishing and expanding.”

Commerciant’s patented technology for check processing will make the company the first in the world to enable both credit card and check processing from the same wireless handheld device. ISOs and agents for the company will now be able to reap new revenue streams through a Commerciant solution that targets previously unserved and under-penetrated market segments.
