Exhibit 99.1 For Immediate Release 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."
