REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. Unveils Payment Platform Allowing Minors to Transact on Merchant Sites that Present MazoolaPay

MazoolaPay^SM offers an unrivaled all-digital, two-sided payment platform experience for children

BLUE BELL, Pa., April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- REGO Payment Architectures, Inc. ("REGO") RPMT, provider of an all digital-based service allowing children to make purchases anytime, from anywhere using their mobile devices, today announced MazoolaPay^SM, a two-sided payment solution that connects merchants, financial partners and consumers through a COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) compliant payment platform. Merchants are enabled to directly transact with children while maintaining privacy and consent compliance. Children can transact on-line or in-store, everywhere MazoolaPay^SM is presented.

"This engineering achievement democratizes privacy, security and guardian-defined shopping experiences in such a way to enable children of all ages to financially transact directly with merchants. It cannot be ignored that the key features of MazoolaPay^SM— no age restrictions, no usage of physical credit cards and security from violation of COPPA regulations –will forever fundamentally change the retail and financial services landscape globally," said Suzanne E. Kecmer, Chief Executive Officer of SKB Capital.

How MazoolaPay^SM Works

• Guardian-Defined Shopping Experience: Conform the child's on-line activity automatically within a rule base that is pre-set and defined by the guardian. Chore management, allowance transfer, and spend controls are just some of the techniques the platform uses to encourage enhanced financial literacy dialog between guardians and children.
  
• Check-Out Process: Users can complete transactions using MazoolaPay^SM where presented. After placing an order, customers can use the Mazoola^SM app to view their order invoice. For in-store purchases, QR codes are enabled for a touch-free experience at point of sale.
  
• Reporting: Guardians receive visibility into children's buying behaviors. MazoolaPay^SM is an opt-in platform for guardian users. COPPA/GDPR compliance allows for the dissemination of transactional data on an anonymized basis.
  

Peter S. Pelullo, Chief Executive Officer, REGO said: "This is the instantiation of the platform that REGO has been driving towards. In addition to merchant websites, we anticipate our native integration with e-commerce platforms will further fuel user adoption rates via purchases of physical goods and subscriptions directly on social media sites. MazoolaPay^SM particularly fills a market gap precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic, increased on-line usage and the need for a secure, contactless payment solution for children that is not currently offered in the global marketplace."

REGO will be offering informational webinars and sandbox opportunities for both retailers and e-commerce platforms.

REGO commercially launched its all-digital family wallet, Mazoola^SM, on February 8, 2021. The platform is protected by three patents (System and Method for Virtual Piggy Bank, System and Method for Verifying the Age of an Internet User, and Virtual Piggybank Having Quick Connect) that enables Mazoola^SM to provide its COPPA and GDPR compliant service. REGO commercially launched the white label version of its all-digital family wallet, MazoolaEnabled^SM, on February 17, 2021.
