QI Systems Introduces SmartStart Software Development Kit
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- QI
Systems, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: QIIIF) (TSX Venture Exchange:
QII.U), the industry leader in smart card solutions, is pleased to
announce the introduction of a series of software development tools
(SmartStart Development Kit) designed to facilitate customer
development of applications to run on the QI SmartKit line of
payment terminals. The SmartStart Development Kit is expected to
broaden the company's international marketing opportunities for the
SmartKit product line. The components that comprise the SmartStart
Development Kit have been tested and used internally by QI Systems
for over four years. The company has elected to make this product
available at this time because of the growing number of requests
for smartcard development assistance being received. QI will
continue to offer complete turnkey integration of smartcard purse
schemes with our products. However, for those customers having
software development resources in house and preferring to develop
full support for their purse schemes, QI will provide tools and
support that will allow them to develop and expand Unattended Point
of Sale (UPOS) applications for their card schemes. The SmartStart
Development Kit will allow customers to add support for purse and
loyalty schemes to the QI Systems' SmartKit terminals. SmartKit is
an ideal platform for customer development of such applications
because of the product's ability to concurrently support multiple
card schemes, as well as allowing purse providers to concurrently
support multiple loyalty platforms in conjunction with the purse.
QI Systems Inc. (http://www.qisystems.ca/) designs hardware and
software for the rapidly expanding smart card industry. The company
is a world leader in supplying top-to-bottom solutions for smart
card applications in a wide variety of industries. QI Systems, Inc.

responsibility for the adequacy of this news release and has not
investigated the validity of these claims. Approved on behalf of
