At this time, itis still business as usual for the payment processing giant.<\/p>\n<p>However, here is the statment from NeTeller to its shareholders:<\/p>\n<p>NETELLER Plc (LSE:NLR), a leading online money transfer service provider, notes<br \/>\nthe recent action early on Saturday 30 September by US Congress to pass HR 4954,<br \/>\nthe Safe Port Act (the &#8220;Act&#8221;) which includes certain provisions to prohibit<br \/>\nunlawful internet gambling through the restriction of payments to such sites.<\/p>\n<p>The Act further states that there will be a period of up to 270 days beginning<br \/>\non the date of the enactment for a board including the US Federal Reserve and<br \/>\nthe US Attorney General to prescribe regulations requiring each designated<br \/>\npayment system and all participants therein to identify and block or otherwise<br \/>\nprevent or prohibit restricted transactions.<\/p>\n<p>The Company, in conjunction with its advisers, is considering the potential<br \/>\nimpact of the Act at this time. The Board believes that the Act may have a<br \/>\nmaterial adverse effect on NETELLER&#8217;s US facing business. Once the Company has<br \/>\nmore information about what the regulations will stipulate, it will have a<br \/>\nclearer view of which companies are affected, how those companies will be<br \/>\nexpected to comply, and any possible resulting impact on the Company. In the<br \/>\nmeantime, the Company will continue to monitor the progress of this legislation<br \/>\nand to energetically plan and adapt NETELLER&#8217;s business to minimise any<br \/>\npotential adverse impact. The Company will remain focused on developing its<br \/>\nbusiness in line with its stated strategic objectives including geographical and<br \/>\nproduct diversification.<\/p>\n<p>The Company&#8217;s next trading update for the third quarter will be issued towards<br \/>\nthe end of October 2006. In the meantime, the Company will endeavour to keep<br \/>\nshareholders informed of any material developments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumors are flying regarding NeTeller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-promotions"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.osga.com\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
