StoreFinancial’s UK Gift Card Programmes Witness Growth in Q4

Birmingham, UK, December 22, 2009 – StoreFinancial has launched 10 shopping centre gift card programmes throughout the United Kingdom during the fourth quarter of 2009. The 10 new clients represent StoreFinancial’s continued growth within the European market.

The 10 new gift card properties are Mill Gate Shopping Centre in Bury; Lowry Outlet Mall in Salford Quays; Liverpool ONE in Liverpool; Foyleside Shopping Centre in Northern Ireland; Princes Square in Glasgow; Junction 32 Outlet Shopping Village (a REALM property) in Glasshoughton; Freeport Braintree Outlet Shopping Village (a REALM property) in Braintree; Priory Meadow Shopping Centre in Hastings; East Kilbride Shopping Centre in East Kilbride, Glasgow and The Gate in Newcastle. All 10 properties have launched their gift card programmes to take advantage of the holiday shopping season.

“We are delighted to be working with so many new shopping centres in 2009. We have launched a programme with one of the most important new malls to be opened in the past few years, Liverpool ONE. We’ve launched our first mall in Northern Ireland (Foyleside), our first self-service kiosk has been implemented at Princes Square and we have taken over our first programme from another supplier at East Kilbride. We very much look forward to working with these malls as we move into 2010,” said Stuart Green, Commercial Director at StoreFinancial.

In the UK, StoreFinancial currently provides open-loop gift card programmes to its shopping centre clients. StoreFinancial’s programmes process on the MasterCard® network, making it easier for both the customer to use and the retailer to redeem. As a result, gift card programmes continue to witness tremendous growth within the UK market.
