Accelerated Payment Systems Changes name to
Access Payment Systems, Inc

[Highlands Ranch, CO - March 2004]

Accelerated Payment Systems, a leading provider of electronic payment solutions to businesses has recently changed their name to Access Payment Systems, Inc. In an effort to distance them selves from a competitor with an identical name, APS felt the need to change their name for a variety of reasons. Despite the geographic distance of their competitor APS has received a variety of complaints from customers of their competitor. APS felt that a name change would separate any relation to reputations incurred by their competitor and solidify the good reputation that APS has developed with their own clients. In choosing Access Payment Systems, Inc as a name change APS felt the need to keep the same acronym, which would aid in keeping the familiar logo brand that APS represents. With this name change the company website address will also be changing to www.accesspaymentsystems.com but also keeping any old web domains owned, which include www.acceleratepay.com and www.acceleratedpaymentsystems.com.
