TALLAHASSEE, FL--(Marketwire - Mar 21, 2012) - eLayaway^®, Inc. (OTCQB: [ ELAY ]) (OTCBB: [ ELAY ]), the Internet's first and only patent-pending layaway payment processor, today announced a strategic consulting agreement with Banyan Strategy, LLC, a data and analytics consultancy. Banyan Strategy, headed by Nadine Davey-Rogers, will assist eLayaway, Inc.'s technology subsidiary, DivvyTech, Inc., in expanding its database functionality and monetization strategy.

Through their agreement, Banyan Strategy will provide eLayaway with an added data processing dimension to their core technology that will help the Company and its strategic partners collect, analyze and report the most relevant and current consumer and product data. With this capability, the Company will know what people are in the process of buying and as a result, the entire supply chain, from the retailer to the manufacturer, can anticipate demand, improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs.

"We are pleased to be working with Banyan Strategy to optimize our database and essentially turn it into a profit center," said Sergio Pinon, CEO of eLayaway, Inc. "The precognitive nature of our unique pre-payment layaway technology affords us extremely valuable marketing and end-user data, the likes of which has never been seen before. This makes us much more than just a payment technology company."

A former VP with American Express^®, Nadine Davey-Rogers has over 14 years specializing in global marketing, analytics, and data products. She is the second payments industry veteran tapped to join eLayaway's team in the past 6 months. Last year, Sue Jones, formerly with Discover^® Network, was appointed the Company's Chief Operating Officer. The two executives will be working closely to help build the system, identify opportunities and leverage the retail technology and data acquired after the Company's recent acquisition of Centralized Strategic Placements (CSP). Their combined experience and network of industry contacts will help propel the Company into new markets and add to its already growing momentum.

"eLayaway is uniquely positioned to capture in-process purchases and SKU data through the DivvyTech platform," said Nadine Davey-Rogers, Principal at Banyan Strategy, LLC. "eLayaway's ability to deliver detailed product level purchase analytics and modeling will provide supply chain and payments industry partners invaluable tools to anticipate demand. I am thrilled to partner with eLayaway to deliver revolutionary purchase and data capabilities to the industry."
