Release Details

MALVERN, PA, March 17, 2006 - USA Technologies (OTCBB: USAT) today announced the launch of the newest and fastest growing product in the Business Express product line, the PC Express®.

PC Express® is a credit card activated, self service PC and Internet terminal. The slim, sleek design can be used as a desktop PC or as a wall mounted PC. Many hotels are using the PC Express as a replacement for their pay phones.

"Since its launch in January, the PC Express has become the fastest moving product in our Business Express product line, and the demand is overwhelming," said Cecil Ledesma, Vice President and Hospitality Channel Manager, USA Technologies. "Hotels are ordering multiple PC Express units in order to provide hotel guests with quick access to the Internet, check their email and conduct business. They work as perfect replacements for pay phones which are not as much in demand now that so many people use cell phones."

The terminals may be sold with a printer or networked to the hotel's printer where users can collect their print outs, or have the print outs, such as boarding passes, delivered to their rooms by hotel staff. The terminals are also networked and provide online reporting so hoteliers know exactly what their PC Express sales are in real time.

"Our aim is to provide as many points of strategic Internet connectivity to the hotel industry as possible - whether it's near the reception desk, in the lobby, or inside or outside a conference room. Guests want quick and easy access. They don't want the inconvenience of bringing their own Laptops or the need to use the hotel's business center. They want instant gratification, and there is nothing faster or easier than the PC Express. Users tell us they are more convenient than a pay phone," Mr. Ledesma said.

The PC Express was selected as a finalist for the Editor's Choice Award at the recent New York International Hotel, Motel and Restaurant Show. Hotel representatives and hotel industry suppliers considered it leading-edge technology that responded to the needs of the traveling business professional and executive, as well as families with Internet proficient children. Hotels can purchase or lease the PC Express at a competitive market price.

"The hospitality industry wants to provide its guests with the very best and latest business services, and we believe the PC Express will very quickly establish itself as our premier Business Express business center offering," said Mr Ledesma. "It delivers everything a traveler needs, quickly, easily and 24x7, and hotels consider it an ideal solution for taking the burden off the front desk," Mr. Ledesma said.
