Press release
9 December 2003

                    earthport plc Business Developments


earthport plc is pleased to announce the following business expansion.

earthport's gaming sector focused subsidiary, ensurePay Limited, has won nine
further contracts over the past three months through eCommerce Services UK, the
first ensurePay reseller.

They are Pacific Ventures, Opera Telecom. Premier Bet, Vo Financials, Intertrans
6, Sunny Group, Golden Comps Casino, Ezybonds and Play Artu. All business volume
resulting from the new merchants will be processed directly through earthport's
Universal Payment Network (UPN).

Existing client and world number one in the on-line gaming arena SportingBet has
decided to double its territorial coverage. As a consequence the number of
customers with access to the earthport system is greater than ever before.

Pool.com, an on-line pool betting company focusing on premiership and European
football which is promoted on Sky Television by Rodney Marsh and Ruud Gullit,
and with which a contract was announced on 10 September 2003, is now live.

Phillip McGriskin, Commercial Director comments "The last few months have seen
sales and existing account activity at ensurePay grow in line with expectations.
  With an average month on month double digit percentage turnover increase for
the last six months and with major clients still to go live, next year should be
an exciting time."
