LAS VEGAS — SellingSource.com and eCommLink Inc. announce the formation of a joint venture which aims to become the leading provider in the fast-growing "open systems" stored value payments marketplace.
The open system, or multipurpose stored value payment marketplace, offers a variety of products that are functionally similar to debit cards. With their complementary strengths, both SellingSource.com and eCommLink will create and market many new stored value offers and features.

"When we examined other stored value products on the market, we found they fell far short when it came to providing the flexibility, features, and transaction driving technologies our customers needed," said SellingSource.com Chief Executive Officer Derek LaFavor, "so we decided to define our own solution and build the most advanced technology platform with eCommLink as a technology provider, processor and partner. We are confident that eCommLink can deliver the most comprehensive and configurable solution in the marketplace -- one that's easy to implement, support, and integrate."
