By Kids For Kids and ECOM Financial Sign a Deal to Bring Kid’s MasterCard Gift Card to Market

By Kids For Kids and ECOM Financial Sign a Deal to Bring Kid’s MasterCard Gift Card to Market











Stamford, CT (PRWEB) November 2, 2006

By Kids For Kids Company (BKFK) today announced a licensing arrangement with ECOM Financial Corp. to bring the BKFK Kid’s MasterCard gift card to market. The BKFK MasterCard will feature pre-loaded amounts of $ 25, $ 50 or $ 100 and will also include multiple promotional incentives from participating retailers. This unique gift card, the first of its kind created especially for kids, will be sold in retail stores in the first quarter of 2007.

By Kids For Kids star inventor Scott Barnhill first created the “Security One” card in 2001 when he was just 9 years old. This handy card saves plastic and space in the user’s wallet because the magnetic strips of several cards are loaded onto one card. The full power of Scott’s invention will be incorporated into the BKFK Kid’s MasterCard, which together with back-end software already developed by ECOM Financial will enable multiple retail promotions all to exist and activate from one magnetic strip.

“I am excited that By Kids For Kids has negotiated this deal on my behalf with ECOM Financial,” said Scott Barnhill, “my likeness and story will be featured on the cards which we hope will inspire other kids to invent.”

Parents will also be able to use the BKFK Kid’s MasterCard as an “allowance card,” providing kids with an easy method of learning how to manage their spending. Parents will be able to track their kid’s card use online, and can discuss their spending habits with them.

Isidore Papadopoulos, CEO of ECOM Financial stated: “Scott and the entire By Kids For Kids organization provide innovations that help kids in numerous unique ways. Coupled with the features offered on the ECOM MasterCard product, kids and parents will be able to conduct commerce more efficiently and more securely. We look forward to working with BKFK.”

Norman Goldstein, Founder and CEO of By Kids For Kids Co. commented: “We are delighted to partner with ECOM Financial on the BKFK Kid’s MasterCard, featuring technology developed by Scott Barnhill. It’s great to see Scott’s invention utilized on this special card that will benefit kids and parents alike.”
