Rentcash Inc. (TSXV: RCS) announced today that, effective December 1, 2004, its 130+ Cash Stores in nine provinces will offer Western Union Money Transfer and Money Order services. Using Western Union's proprietary money transfer network, The Cash Store's customers will be able to pay bills and transfer money.

"Adding the capabilities of Western Union, an international leader in consumer money transfer services, to The Cash Store's payday advance services brings us closer to our goal of being the complete neighborhood financial services provider," said Gordon Reykdal, President and CEO of Rentcash. "We are proud to offer one of the world's most widely recognized money order brands. Coupled with our own private label debit card, the Cash Store Cash Card(TM), The Cash Stores offer a powerful line up of the financial services most requested by our customers."

The Cash Store's managers across Canada have been undergoing an extensive training program to provide the new Western Union services, which will also be promoted through joint-branded signage at each store.

"Western Union has always supported the idea of the neighborhood financial institution," said A.J. Hanna, vice president and general manager, Western Union Canada. "This important addition to our Agent network moves us closer to our consumers and the communities we serve across Canada."
