Moving Day - September 22, 2008

Here we go. Monday September 22, Safefunds.com moves to our new headquarters location. At the same time we are relocating our primary data center. We're excited about our new facilities. Both the new offices and the expanded data center space will allow for our continuing growth. While we expect a brief service interruption when various communication lines are cut over, the down time will be brief. Our technical group is working to be sure the service interruption is very brief. Thanks to our growing membership worldwide that makes this move possible.

Special Services from Safefunds

One of the most important features that makes Safefunds better than other high value transaction services is our ability and our willingness to tailor a solution for unusual transactions.

Safefunds special transaction service is available for any need that arises. Our mission is to serve our membership with the finest personal attention to provide a hassle free and secure solution to any financial transaction, no matter how complex.

Across the Finish Line

On Sunday, July 13, 2008 Safefunds crossed a very important mark. The Safefunds transactions that closed on Sunday brought our total closed transaction count for 2008 equal to the entire year of 2007. It's the growing community of Safefunds' members that has made this kind of growth possible. We expect to more than double our volume this year compared to last and we are on track to do so. While we are excited about our growth, we are absolutely committed to maintaining the high level of personal member service that the Safefunds family expects and deserves.

Growth - It's a Good Thing

It's official. Safefunds will move our administrative offices to new quarters this fall. Thanks to our loyal, growing membership we need to upgrade to a new space with more room and newer communications infrastructure to support you, the Safefunds community. Near the end of September, we will pack up and head about 5 miles west of our current location to the new space being prepared for us. We're excited and appreciate our wonderful members that support the Safefunds concept and allow us to make this move for the future.

Another Milestone for Safefunds.com

Thanks to our members around the world, Safefunds has doubled in size over the last year. We truly appreciate the confidence our members, both commercial users and individual users, have demonstrated in the Safefunds system. On May 31, 2008, we passed all of 2007 for both number of Safefunds transactions and value of Safefunds transactions. Additionally, our new members in May added 4 more countries to the Safefunds family. With your support, we are excited about offering additional, enhanced features through the summer. Watch for announcements about changes to make Safefunds even easier to use.

Indy 500 Time in our Hometown

It's race time in Indianapolis, the home of the Indianapolis 500 and Safefunds.com. Everyone here enjoys welcoming visitors from around the world to our city. Of course, we are reminded of another great way to use a Safefunds membership. Safefunds is the perfect method for buying and selling high value tickets to sporting events and concerts. With the Safefunds system, our buying members know that the tickets are exactly as promised and valid BEFORE they release their money. Our selling members know that the payment they receive for the tickets is absolutely guaranteed. Both buyer and seller are totally protected. Use Safefunds the next time and be protected.

Another Record Set

We have to say thank you, thank you, thank you to our growing Safefunds membership. Your trust and support are the reason that April marked another record setting month for Safefunds. Our members completed 3 times as many deals in April of 08 as in April of 07. We added members in 4 new countries and saw membership shoot up by 16% in one month. Very importantly for us, more and more members are using our service on a regular basis for repeat transactions.

Using that Tax Refund?

Here in the U.S.A, the dreaded April 15th tax day has passed. Spring is in bloom in many parts of the country and despite rising fuel costs, many members will be thinking of a new vehicle for the travel season. Whether its a Ford or Ferrari, Safefunds is the absolutely best way to buy or sell a car, motorcycle, boat, or RV. With our absolute protection for both buyer and seller, members can conduct that long distance deal with complete confidence. As always, there is only a single, low cost transaction fee.

Email Reliability

Safefunds prides itself on providing the finest personal service to our members. Imagine our embarrassment when our email provider, Network Solutions, one of the largest and one of the first Internet registrars and hosting services, lost our ability to receive email on April 7th. Apparently, the claim of 99.7% up time is not quite realistic. Of course this interruption had no effect on the secure Safefunds member server. We do not trust anyone except ourselves with that information. However, we certainly apologize to our many members for the inconvenience and what may have appeared to be our failure to respond to their mail to us. Another good reason that we publish our phone number where it is easy to find. We are at 1-888-565-4187. Outside the U.S. call +1-317-819-1026.

What's the Catch?

A perfect topic for April 1 is a question we get over and over at Safefunds. What's the catch? How can you provide the Safefunds service for such low cost? All the other services are a lot higher and get from 1% to 3%. Are you guys for real? We hear it a lot. Here is the answer. Our business is based on our software. Our software processes a transaction for a fixed amount. The value of the transaction has absolutely nothing to do with the cost of processing it (of course, this is also true of our competitors who charge those percentages). When you write a check, you do not expect to pay the bank a percentage of the amount for handling the clearing process. Why should you pay a percentage of a transaction for someone to process it? We depend on three elements for success: 1. The best possible service to our members so they continue to use our system, 2. Our patent pending software that cannot be duplicated, and 3. A high volume of transactions to allow us to keep our fee low. Thanks for using SAFEFUNDS.

Elephants and Donkeys

The political season has found a home at Safefunds. One of our members in the hotel business had an unfortunate experience four years ago that did not happen again now that Safefunds is available. It seems that a major news organization booked half of his hotel during primary season for two weeks in 2004. After the primary was over and they moved on, it took our member 6 months to get paid from the "corporate" office. Not this year. Our wise member insisted that funds be committed using Safefunds in advance. When the bill was totaled, the Safefunds transaction was adjusted to the proper amount. Our hotel operator member received his funds instantly, the news organization member had instant access to withdraw the remainder. Another "newsworthy" use for Safefunds.

An interesting February

Thank you to all of the Safefunds members using the service this February. We enjoyed record setting transaction volume and record setting member enrollment. We appreciate your patronage and your confidence in the Safefunds system. As always, it is fascinating to see the diversity of items and services that are exchanged with the Safefunds system. We certainly see the complete range of motor vehicles. This month the smallest vehicle was Vespa LX. The largest vehicle this month was a Volvo F10 truck.

There is only one Safefunds

If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, we should be flattered - but we're not. A new scam site appeared on February 13, using our name as part of their web site address. It looks good until you pay close attention and find out about the broken links and the false claims about ownership and investors. While claiming to be a U.S. based firm, the site is registered in Australia with phony addresses in the U.S. and Canada. It's a typical Moneygram scam , telling buyers to send personal Moneygrams to their authorized escrow agent. We are working with law enforcement in Australia to stop this fraud. The only real Safefunds site is www.Safefunds.com.

Safefunds Stops Fraud

Safefunds stopped a car sale fraud again this weekend. The scam was an old one. The story is, "the car is in the U.S.; the seller is in the U.K. and is willing to sell for cheap just to get the car sold. The seller has an escrow agent that will receive a MoneyGram from the buyer and independently verify release of the car". It is amazing that this scam is still out there. Of course, when our member told the seller she wanted to use the Safefunds system; the seller disappeared. Safefunds members are totally protected both buying and selling using the Safefunds system.

Safefunds to the Superbowl

Three Safefunds members will be sitting at the Superbowl today in seats purchased using their Safefunds accounts. These smart fans bought their tickets with complete security and no possible risk of finding themselves on the outside, looking in on Super Sunday. The three members selling the tickets also were totally protected. They knew the payment was secure before they sent out the tickets. At those prices the sellers are probably watching the game on new flat screen T.V.s they bought with the proceeds. No one protects buyers and sellers of high value items better than Safefunds.com. Visit us at www.Safefunds.com
