"Retailers realize the importance of mobile, and recognize the growing consumer awareness of mobile payments and loyalty," said Ronald Herman, CEO and founder of Sionic Mobile. "We've made it easy for mobile-savvy consumers to earn 2% rewards at every checkout, on top of the rewards they get from their bank or credit card provider. By doubling the ION merchant locations and adding thousands of coffee shops, restaurants and other merchant types, we are making it practical to earn and spend IONs every day."

Sionic Mobile has partnered with CashStar, the industry-leading provider of prepaid commerce solutions, to provide CashStar-powered digital gift cards for a large, diverse roster of leading restaurants and retailers.

"Simply downloading an app is not enough; consumers must have motivation and opportunity to use the app at a wide variety of merchants on a daily basis," Herman said. "We reward consumers instantly at every checkout. Our app users not only have the convenience of paying for purchases with their smartphones, but also have the peace of mind that each transaction is secure and free of fraud. We removed the restrictions typical of other loyalty programs and as a result, ION Rewards is quickly becoming one of the go-to apps used by consumers as a part of their daily routine. "
