Sparta Commercial Launches New Program NEW YORK,

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Apr 17, 2013) - Sparta Commercial Services, Inc. ( OTCQB : SRCO ) today announced the launch of a new Merchant Payment Services Program to offer its business customers a lower rate than they're currently paying in credit card processing fees (up to 45%). Partnering with a provider that has been named among INC's 500 fastest growing companies four years in a row, is listed among Nilson's top 100 acquirers, and operates one of the most sophisticated networks and merchant portals in the country, Sparta is initially targeting the thousands of powersports and auto dealers that it has developed business relationships with over many years for this new service.

Given the fact that powersports and auto dealers see relatively high ticket credit card charges for parts, service, and in some instances, sales, the opportunity to offer significantly lower rates than the vast majority of banks and other merchant services providers, represents what Sparta believes is a distinct advantage that will prove highly beneficial to its new customer base.

The new program also offers ATM machine sales and service, and working capital and expansion loans. With 24/7/365 toll-free live support and customer service, and next-day funding, Sparta believes the program is highly competitive and will be extremely well received not just in the initial targeted markets, but also in a continuously broadening number of business sectors.

Commenting on the reports, Anthony Havens, Sparta's CEO, said, "We're excited about the launch of our new Merchant Payment Services Program, as a natural extension of all the technology products and services, and outstanding customer support that we've been providing to businesses for a long time."
