ATLANTA (April 5, 2005)—Radiant Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RADS) receives validation with Visa’s Payment Application Best Practices for the Aloha suite of POS applications through Visa’s Cardholder Information Security Program (CISP).

This validation enables restaurant operators to minimize security threats and instill consumer confidence by assuring the safety of cardholder information. Visa’s CISP defines a standard for securing Visa cardholder data wherever it is located. CISP compliance is required of all entities that store, process or transmit Visa cardholder data.

“In this age of heightened security concerns, Aloha is proud to be the first hospitality point-of-sale system validated with Visa,” said Andy Heyman, president of the Radiant Hospitality Division. “We are able to provide our clients with solutions that assist them in avoiding financial and reputational losses as well as safeguards their customers’ information. We take very seriously the obligation inherent in supporting more than 25,000 restaurants that have invested in our solution.”

A component of the overall Aloha technology ownership experience is the restaurant operators’ ability to guard against theft and manage costs. Aloha’s annual participation in Visa’s payment security initiative and CISP validation of its latest release further solidifies this commitment.
