LEAWOOD, KANSAS and LONDON—April 8, 2003—Euronet Worldwide's (Nasdaq: EEFT) subsidiary, e-pay, has launched electronic top-up services (e-top-up) in all Safeway supermarket stores, the U.K.'s fourth grocery retailer.

Electronic top-up is a payment method that enables consumers to add prepaid minutes to their mobile phone accounts at participating retailers. With this agreement, e-pay will add more than 480 Safeway outlets to its retail network for top-up services. Safeway supports approximately 8 million U.K. shoppers every week. The e-pay service, which is fully integrated with Safeway's own electronic point-of-sale (EPoS) system, is available at all checkout terminals within the Safeway supermarkets.

e-pay's top-up service is supported through a proprietary technology platform that features a state-of-the-art switching engine offering billing, customer service, trouble reporting, credit management, settlement and reconciliation. This system supports online electronic top-up at retail locations via small terminals or by EPoS for retailers with multiple locations and multiple checkout points. This form of top-up replaces scratch-off cards, which are more costly to handle and may have a high instance of theft.

"With this agreement, e-pay now provides top-up services to four out of the five leading supermarket chains," said Paul Althasen, Euronet executive vice president and co-managing director e-pay. "Supermarket networks are the backbone of the U.K. e-top-up distribution, and Safeway is an important member of that distribution network."
