Newly Formed Exante Bank Selects BISYS(R) to Provide Enterprise-Wide Information Processing Services

  - Innovative Industrial Loan Bank Chooses BISYS Based on In-house Talent,
    Product and Service Offering, Technology, and Integration Expertise  -

    NEW YORK, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BISYS, a leading provider of
business process outsourcing solutions for the financial services sector,
today announced that it has been selected by Exante Bank, Inc., a start-up
Industrial Loan Corporation (ILC) chartered in Utah to serve the healthcare
industry.  BISYS will support this innovative bank's launch and ongoing
information processing requirements with its ABA-endorsed core banking
platform, several fully integrated best-of-breed ancillary solutions including
its state-of-the-art customer care and data warehouse solutions, as well as
several custom components.
    According to Exante president and chief operating officer, Richard D.
Holley, "There was significant competition among some very aggressive vendors
but we selected BISYS for a number of reasons.  Our unique business
requirements are challenging and difficult to grasp, but BISYS has the
in-house intellectual capacity to fully understand them.  BISYS also offers
the high-demand banking products and services, the technological capability,
and the integration expertise we need in our industry niche, and its
technology infrastructure is very manageable.  Rather than just a vendor, we
also need a business partner that can help us integrate our overall business,
product offering, and support model across all of our delivery channels and we
believe BISYS is that partner.  BISYS' team has been extremely responsive and
has found practical resolutions for every issue that has come up.  BISYS is
clearly demonstrating its capacity and ability to do what we need."
    Bill Neville, president of BISYS Information Services, reported, "Our
fundamental strategy is to support the vision of banks like Exante with the
high-demand financial products and services, the technology, and the expertise
they need to prosper in their target markets.  BISYS is uniquely positioned to
help launch this de novo organization in the healthcare space, and to
proactively support its unique business plan and growth in its largely
untapped industry segment.  We are excited about this opportunity and
anticipate great things from our relationship with this innovative bank.  We
are proud to welcome Exante Bank as a noteworthy addition to our client
roster."
