HONG KONG, April 25 /PRNewswire/ --

- First NetDragon Credit Card Issued in China

NetDragon Websoft Inc. ("NetDragon" or the "Company", with its subsidiary collectively the "Group"; stock code: 8288.HK) and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ("ICBC") today announced the official issuance of the "Peony NetDragon Credit Card" at all branches of ICBC across the PRC. The signing ceremony is being held this morning at the Peony Credit Card Centre at the ICBC headquarters in Beijing. The hosts of the signing ceremony are Mr. Liu Luyuan, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of NetDragon, and Mr. Li Weiping, President of ICBC's Peony Card Centre.

The "Peony NetDragon Credit Card" uses the "UnionPay" standard. As well as offering basic credit card functions, the card has a creative feature whereby cardholders can make payments without actually signing the card. Instead, cardholders can call a NetDragon customer service hotline using a mobile phone number assigned to the card. After having their information confirmed, cardholders are able to credit their game accounts by debiting their credit cards. They can also credit their game accounts online through the credit card and the gain bonus points at the same time, making payments of virtual items much easier than in the past. The card's designs are based on the artwork of online games developed by NetDragon, with the designs of the first classic and gold cards to be issued based on the artwork from "Eudemons Online". The Group will also consider issuing credit card designs based on artwork from other games, such as "Conquer Online", "Zero Online" and "Way of the Five".

Through the cooperation, it shows that ICBC has a high level of respect for the professional database management system and high-quality management of customer creditworthiness of NetDragon. This cooperation will also bring opportunities to create exciting new synergies to both parties. Commenting on the arrangement, Mr. Liu Luyuan said, "We are very glad to be able to cooperate with the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China. We believe that the Group can grasp the great development potential of online game industry in China and provide brand-new enjoyment and convenience to game players through this cooperation. We hope in the future to be able to engage in further cooperative ventures with ICBC. This sort of cooperation is making more creative services more widely available for both China's online game industry and its banking industry."
