Commenting on the results for the quarter, Michael R. Long, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Payment Data Systems, said, “Second quarter earnings were no surprise as they followed historical trends."

Long continued, “The real excitement for us is the upcoming quarter. Our previously announced guidance of exceeding $1,000,000 in sales and achieving profitability for the quarter remains firmly in place. The second quarter was focused on implementing a number of new merchants. The merchant acquiring segment of PDS continues to grow and we are now processing payments for over 450 churches and church organizations. Our prepaid card operation, FiCentive, is continuing to earn new corporate clients for its printed on-demand corporate card incentive programs with the conversion to our new bank virtually complete, and our ACH business is contributing greatly to our new trends.”
