Pitney Bowes Inc. (PBI) reported earnings per diluted share from continuing operations of 55 cents, compared with 67 cents in the prior year. This was higher than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 54 cents.

Consorteum Holdings Inc., the innovative payment technology company, offers a much needed payment solution to a huge number workers.

Example:

“I’m an employee at a mid-sized technology firm. I’d really appreciate an alternative banking solution outside of what the traditional banks can offer me – almost like a ‘virtual bank’ – because I receive a manual check every two weeks. My only alternative for cashing my check is at a ‘check cashing store’ which is both costly and cumbersome.”

Consorteum’s highly effective solution, which can be customized to fit individual client needs, is centered around the creative use of payroll card technologies.

After all, checks are messy, tiresome to write, troublesome to record, and, if you are the one getting paid with a check, there’s always the time it takes to deposit it and the risk of loss or theft if mailed. It’s no wonder that checks have been replaced with electronic cards all over the world. In fact, many countries have transitioned to electronic transactions far faster than the U.S.

But there are a number of areas where value transfer is still done with paper checks, or even cash. These are usually situations where there are special requirements. Perhaps the person being paid does not have a
