CATUITY LAUNCHES AMERIBANC GIFT CARD PROGRAM
Largest Reseller, Turnkey Package Accelerates Sales Growth

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. (Monday, January 22, 2007 - Catuity Inc. (Nasdaq: CTTY;
ASX: CAT, CATN), a loyalty and gift card processor, today announced that it has
launched a national reseller gift program with Ameribanc National Ltd, one of
the payments industry's most successful marketers of a free terminal program.

Ameribanc sales agents actively market a flat-rate, no-risk gift card program to
the 500-plus merchants a month that buy their innovative free terminal program
on the Hypercom T-4100. Catuity is one of the few processors to support loyalty
and gift card programs on the innovative 32-bit terminal platform.

"Our relationship with Ameribanc marked a significant change in our partnerships
with resellers," said John Racine, President and CEO of Catuity Inc. "In the
past, we worked with resellers who wanted a program or product that only
appealed to a small part of their total customer base. In the case of Ameribanc,
their entire market strategy is built around making the terminal more valuable
by adding exactly the products and services that we offer."

The company launched the reseller relationship in October and the adoption has
grown significantly each month.

"Catuity created a program that is simple to understand and give our retailers
access to a very competitive gift card program that helps merchants grow their
business," said Dan Lewis, CEO and co-founder of Ameribanc. "Together, we
created a program that is simple to share, easy to use and Catuity has backed it
up with great customer service."

Ameribanc has specialized in selling value-added services on a free, 32-bit
terminal since 2003 and today has more than 12,500 merchants in their portfolio.
Based in suburban Chicago, Ameribanc is expanding their sales team to support
growing demand among agents for an easy-to-sell turnkey package.

"Gift card remains an important piece of the revenue puzzle that merchants
should use to grow their business. We have a program that is affordable and easy
to promote in their stores," said Chris McIntire, President and co-founder of
Ameribanc. "The more merchants sell, the more they make. It's one of the true
win-win propositions left for merchants they can employ with little to no risk
or expense. Since we have committed to the Value-Added Marketing Model with our
free equipment, our biggest obstacle in signing up new customers is addressing
their concern that 'it's too good to be true.' We've found that the



value of a long-term relationship with a happy customer far outweighs the
upfront investment that Ameribanc makes in the purchase of their equipment."
Added Lewis, "Many players in our industry give lip service to the concept of
value-add but in reality are dependent upon equipment revenues to drive their
business plans. To round out our merchant offering, AmeriBanc National Ltd
offers a solid customer support model to support credit card processing,
PIN-based debit, electronic check imaging, tap-n-go contractless readers,
wireless solutions and software solutions like Catuity's."
