Exhibit 99.2


         NET 1 UEPS TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ANNOUNCES REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN
         CONNECTION WITH PLANNED LISTING ON THE NASDAQ NATIONAL MARKET

Johannesburg, South Africa -- May 26, 2005 -- Net 1 UEPS Technologies, Inc.
(OTCBB:NUEP) ("Net 1" or the "Company") announced today that its board of
directors unanimously approved a one-for-six reverse stock split of its capital
stock. In addition, the Company announced its intention to list Net 1's common
stock on the Nasdaq National Market. Under Florida corporate law, the reverse
stock split is not subject to the approval of Net 1's shareholders. The reverse
stock split will become effective on June 13, 2005, when the Company files a
charter amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida.

As a result of the reverse stock split, every six shares of Net 1's common stock
will be combined into one share of common stock and every six shares of Net 1's
special convertible preferred stock will be combined into one share of special
convertible preferred stock. Similar adjustments will be made to Net 1's
outstanding options and other stock-based awards. Fractional shares of common
stock will not be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, all
fractional shares will be rounded up to one whole share.

About Net 1 (www.net1ueps.com)

Net 1 provides its universal electronic payment system, or UEPS, as an
alternative payment system for the unbanked and under-banked populations of
developing economies. The Company believes that it is the first company
worldwide to implement a system that can enable the estimated four billion
people who generally have limited or no access to a bank account to enter
affordably into electronic transactions with each other, government agencies,
employers, merchants and other financial service providers. To accomplish this,
the Company has developed and deployed the UEPS. This system uses secure
smart cards that operate in real-time but offline, unlike traditional payment
systems offered by major banking institutions that require immediate access
through a communications network to a centralized computer. This offline
capability means that users of Net 1's system can enter into transactions at any
time with other card holders in even the most remote areas so long as a portable
offline smart card reader is available. In addition to payments and purchases,
Net 1's system can be used for banking, health care management, international
money transfers, voting and identification.

limited to, Net 1's most recent report on Form 10-K. The Company undertakes no
