MonoBank PLC announces planned acquisition

London, United Kingdom – (For immediate release) – October 22nd, 2007 6:00 PM BST

MonoBank PLC, a company specializing in offering prepaid debit solutions to the credit challenged consumer market, is pleased to announce we have signed a definitive Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire Detect ID Theft Inc. Detect ID Theft Inc. is a US Company incorporated in Delaware which specializes in the prevention of identity theft using a patent pending technology that searches thousands of public and private electronic databases and proactively detects identity theft. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America; 9.9 million victims were reported last year, according to a Federal Trade Commission survey. On average it costs $5,000 and 200 hours to attempt to repair an identity theft incident. More serious identity theft can mean years of ruined credit, enormous losses of property, and even a person’s arrest for crimes committed by a thief in your name.

MonoBank PLC exhaustively researched the identity theft detection market and identified Detect ID Theft Inc. as a potential leader in the industry with compelling competitive advantages and distinct technological advantages with Detect ID Theft’s proactive prevention approach. The acquisition will provide immediate revenue potential for Monobank PLC, strengthen and broaden the company’s product offering and inevitably increase shareholder value. The synergies of the organizations should ensure a successful merger and complements the MonoBank PLC growth through acquisition business strategy.

MonoBank PLC obtains Frankfurt Stock Exchange trading symbol

London, United Kingdom – (For immediate release) – May 16th, 2007 6:00 PM BST

MonoBank PLC is pleased to announce that the company has obtained our ticker symbol from the FWB (Frankfurter Wertpapierborse) or Frankfurt Stock Exchange, which represents the primary step in the FWB listing process. MonoBank PLC has received a German Securities Code Number (WKN number) – A0MRLW and will be trading under the ticker symbol – WNW.

This represents the commencement of the listing and filing process and the company anticipates it will take 30 days to complete this process and begin trading on the FWB. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange will provide increased international visibility and allow the company to attract Institutional and Private Investment in Germany, across Europe and around the world. The FWB was founded in 1585 and is the largest of eight German securities exchanges operated by Deutsche Borse AG and ranks as the world’s third largest securities exchange behind NYSE and NASDAQ. Once listed on the FWB, MonoBank plans to apply for a dual listing on the Pink Sheets or NASDAQ OTCBB.

This critical milestone in the company’s development will assist in creating financing opportunities required for the rapid deployment of the MonoBank product marketing strategy for Europe, Asia, the Americas and strategic emerging global markets.

MonoBank PLC explores Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing

London, United Kingdom – (For immediate release) – November 13th, 2006 9:00 AM

Mono Bank PLC, a company specializing in offering prepaid debit solutions to the credit challenged consumer market, announced today that it is exploring the possibility of listing its common shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (FWB). The FWB is the largest of eight German securities exchanges operated by Deutsche Borse Ag and is the world’s third-largest securities exchange in terms of turnover and dealings.

Mono Bank PLC wishes to raise additional funds from a Frankfurt listing to develop new and innovative products and service specifically designed for the sub-prime consumer and small business market.

According to a new study from the Aite Group LLC the once-ignored U.S. small-business customer segment is growing in sophistication and is expected to spend US$477 billion on financial products by 2010. Banks must alter their strategies in order to reap the benefits and reduce the number of lost opportunities.

A disconnect exists between small business needs and bank offerings,” notes Christine Barry, Research Director with Aite Group and author of the report. “Businesses that generate between US$100,000 and US$1 million in annual revenues are the small-business sub-segment most likely to complete transactions online, yet most banks offer these customers only retail banking solutions and thereby limit their opportunities for cross-selling and generating fee-based revenues.

MonoBank PLC hopes to take advantage of this “disconnect” by developing new, innovative products and services for this segment of the market. MonoBank is also in the process of developing products and service for the credit challenged. These include low cost money transfer solutions and prepaid credit cards, commonly known as stored value cards. In the U.S. alone there are 50 million Americans that don’t have access to credit and banking facilities. Estimates suggest that stored value transactions in the U.S. could exceed $2 trillion in just a few years. And as large as the potential for stored value is in the U.S., the international opportunity will be several orders of magnitude higher.

MonoBank PLC has chosen to do a Frankfurt listing first as this will increase our visibility internationally while allowing the company to take advantage of the significant market opportunities in the UK, continental Europe and Asia. Once we’re listed on the Frankfurt we plan to apply for a dual listing on the Pink Sheets or NASDAQ.
