Former Open Champion Paul Lawrie Signs Sponsorship Agreement
with Kalixa, the Prepaid MasterCard

"I’ll be using my Kalixa Card to help run my grassroots junior activity through the Paul Lawrie Foundation."
London, January 13th , 2010 - Scottish golfer and former
Open Champion Paul Lawrie has signed an exclusive agreement with
Kalixa®, the online eAccount and Prepaid
MasterCard®, that will see Lawrie sporting the Kalixa
logo on the front of his headwear throughout 2010.
Lawrie, from Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland, famously
won the Open Championships in 1999 and now sits in a small bracket
of golfers to have won arguably the most prestigious golf event of
all time. With four further wins on the European Tour, the control
Lawrie displays on the course demonstrates a perfect brand-fit with
the pay-as-you-go Kalixa prepaid MasterCard, and the financial
control it provides its cardholders.
Kalixa is issued by Vincento Payment Solutions, an FSA
authorised and regulated e-money issuer. Vincento's CEO, Alpesh
Patel, is delighted to be announcing a sponsorship in golf with a
player of Paul's credibility, saying: "We are very pleased and
excited to be associating our Kalixa prepaid MasterCard with such a
recognised and credible athlete as Paul Lawrie. The
partnership will help us introduce the product to new users as well
as reward our customers' loyalty through promotional offers. We
wish Paul the very best of luck through 2010 and are looking
forward to building a long-term relationship together."
Lawrie was equally pleased to be entering a partnership with a
new and forward-thinking financial brand. He stated: "I'm
delighted to be an ambassador for Kalixa. There is a great
similarity between golf and the Kalixa card - golf requires control
of your swing and your mind, and even more so in times like these,
our finances also need control. I'll be using my Kalixa Card to
help run my grassroots junior activity through the Paul Lawrie
Foundation and I look forward to working closely with Kalixa
throughout the coming years. "
