New Liberty Product to Enable Credit Unions to Conduct Interactive Marketing Campaigns With Their Members

         one2one WEB(SM) Result of Partnership With NewWorld Commerce

    MOUNDS VIEW, Minn., Dec. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- The future of one-to-one
marketing to credit union members is here.
    Liberty Creative, a subsidiary of the credit union movement's leading
provider of payment systems, marketing services and technology solutions, has
announced one2one WEB(SM), an e-mail marketing tool that allows credit unions
to conduct interactive marketing campaigns with their members.  The service is
the result of a business partnership between Liberty and NewWorld Commerce, a
Seattle-based provider of e-marketing campaign generation and management
solutions.
    "one2one WEB(SM) provides credit unions a sophisticated -- yet affordable
-- tool to enter the world of one-to-one commerce," said Tony Rizzo, president
of Liberty Creative.  "It opens the doors to advanced marketing campaigns to
members.  This puts credit unions' marketing efforts ahead of their
competition and on a par with other cutting-edge marketing technology
companies such as Microsoft and Oracle."
    Liberty will be reselling NewWorld Commerce's NewWorld Direct 2.0, the
only Web-centric permission-based marketing platform that enables customers to
leverage their existing customer base, rapidly build loyal online communities
and drive sales.  Non-technical users can create and manage personalized,
relevant and anticipated interactive marketing programs that can be measured
and analyzed on an individual named-visitor basis.  Its multi-lingual
architecture facilitates global and cross cultural communications.  NewWorld
Direct's self-service approach lets business professionals employ the software
over existing Internet connections without additional investment in hardware,
software or services.
    "We are very excited about this partnership," said Donal Daly, CEO of
NewWorld Commerce.  "Liberty understands the importance of respecting
customers in e-marketing campaigns.  With its particular expertise in the
credit union sector, I am looking forward to seeing it succeed in delivering
value to its credit union customers, and its customers' members."
    Rizzo said one2one WEB(SM) is particularly effective because it's a
"permission-based marketing tool," meaning the e-mail messages will only be
sent to credit union members who have indicated an interest.
    "It's information that members can really use to better their financial
well-being," Rizzo said.
    According to Rizzo, Liberty Creative will provide a credit union customer
hands-on training by creating the first in a series of Web-based marketing
campaigns.  After that, the credit unions can execute the campaigns on their
own, contacting Liberty Creative with any questions they might have along the
way.  A credit union's promotion of home equity loans, auto loans, mortgage
services, checking, credit & debit cards are just a few of a credit union's
potential campaign themes.
    Liberty plans to launch one2one WEB(SM) on Jan. 1, 2001.  For more

Manager at 800-607-2435, ext. 2436.
