    /24-7PressRelease/ - Redwood City, CA - January 3, 2008 - Merchant e-Solutions, Inc. (MeS), a leader in payment processing services, continues to make growth investments in its e-commerce business sector, first by developing payment solutions that are specifically engineered for card-not-present transactions, and now by announcing the appointment of Kevin Gallagher as the General Manager of the MeS e-Commerce business.

Gallagher, with over 14 years of payment processing experience--most recently as Senior Vice President of Corporate Alliances at Chase Paymentech—is responsible for continuing to develop and grow the MeS e-Commerce business through channel partnerships and direct merchant sales.

"We are delighted that Kevin Gallagher has joined Merchant e-Solutions," says Sharif Bayyari, CEO. "Kevin's industry experience and our proprietary payment services provide a perfect combination that will enable us to continue to grow our presence in the e-commerce arena."

In focusing on the needs of e-commerce merchants, MeS has developed a payment system with a direct exchange interface to Visa, as well as the MeS e-Commerce Payment Gateway and Virtual Terminal, which provide for better control of costs, interchange qualification, and service levels. The payment solutions provided by MeS are comprehensive and PCI compliant and designed with features that eliminate the need for merchants to store cardholder data, thereby reducing the merchant's PCI DSS compliance responsibilities
