Go2Net's Authorize.Net and Planet Payment Formalize Joint Venture
The Planet Payment Gateway Powered by Authorize.Net Offers Multi-Currency Internet Payment Solutions to Merchants Worldwide

PROVO, UT and NEW YORK, NY, March 9, 2000 - Authorize.Net Corporation, (http://www.authorize.net/), a leading payment authorization service for online businesses, and Planet Payment, (http://www.planetpayment.com/), the leader in providing global payment solutions for an e-world, have launched a joint venture to provide end-to-end payment solutions for online merchants located outside of the United States and US-based merchants who wish to implement a non-US or multi-currency Internet payment solution. Authorize.Net is a part of the Go2Net Network (Nasdaq: GNET), (http://www.go2net.com/).

Authorize.Net and Planet Payment have worked together to create one of the first multi-currency Internet payment gateways, which will be marketed under the Planet Payment™ brand, and will be powered by Authorize.Net. The Planet Payment Gateway and Planet Payment's innovative Internet payment solutions will allow online merchants everywhere the ability to accept credit card payments in more than 140 currencies. The gateway is scheduled to be available in early April, with applications for the services currently available via both the Authorize.Net and Planet Payment Web sites.

"We see the Internet as the first truly global sales tool with multi-currency payment options allowing online merchants to sell their goods and services worldwide," said David O. Heaps, Authorize.Net CEO. "Our joint venture with Planet Payment provides a solution for merchants everywhere who are faced with the challenge of receiving online payments from international customers. We are very excited about the opportunities that will stem from this relationship."

Authorize.Net currently provides payment solutions for more than 65,000 online merchants. Of those merchants, there are many that wish to implement non-US or multi-currency Internet payment solutions, and will directly benefit from this joint venture.

"This agreement with Authorize.Net is another step in Planet Payment's previously stated strategy to become the global leader in providing multi-currency credit card payment solutions to merchants and institutions everywhere," says Philip Beck, Chief Executive Officer of Planet Payment. "This venture will help merchants worldwide with the most important issue they face - the ability to get paid online in a secure environment as they conduct business in the evolving and competitive electronic business environment."

According to eMarketer, an international research firm, the e-sales horizon is shifting from U.S. dominance today toward equilibrium by 2003. In 1999, the U.S. share of e-commerce revenues approached three-fourth's of the world's total. By 2003, however, the U.S. will only account for 53% of overall global revenues, which are expected to top $1.2 trillion.
