How eLayaway Works for Consumers
eLayaway® is an online payment system that allows consumers to pay for the products and services they desire using manageable periodic payments, thereby making purchases affordable and easy to budget. Payments are automatically drafted from the consumer's designated bank account via Automated Clearing House ("ACH") on the modifiable schedule set by the consumer at the time of purchase. A flat transaction fee as low as 1.9% is charged to the consumer and all payments are held in an account in trust at HSBC Bank and transferred to the merchant once full payment has been made. Like traditional layaway programs of the past, delivery of the product or service occurs once payment is complete. Payment processing and supporting services are handled by eLayaway while merchants provide order fulfillment.

How eLayaway Works for Merchants
For many online merchants, eLayaway offers an opportunity to provide layaway to their customers as a means to expand market share while reducing the administrative requirements of traditional layaway. Merchants are now turning to payment alternatives such as eLayaway in order to take advantage of opportunities that increase sales and profits. Today, approximately one-half of all consumers do not qualify for credit. eLayaway provides an alternative payment method that allows these consumers to make the purchases they desire while enabling merchants to sell additional products on an immediate basis.

In addition to eLayaway.com, the Company also owns and operates eLayawaySports.com, eLayawayTravel.com and eLayawayHealth.com. eLayaway, Inc. was founded in 2005.
