Fincentric Announces Software Licensing Agreement with Saskatoon Credit Union



Vancouver, BC — July 23, 2002 – Fincentric Corporation, a leading global provider of wealth management and banking software, today announced that Saskatoon Credit Union has signed a software licensing agreement to implement Fincentric's next-generation core banking system. The solution is to be implemented in 2003.

Established in 1939, Saskatoon Credit Union serves over 50,000 members and manages assets of over $667 million. Saskatoon Credit Union selected the Fincentric solution for its functionality, rapid implementation, scalability and the ability to migrate to future Fincentric applications.

"Technology continues to be a significant factor in delivering competitive, quality financial solutions to our members. We chose Fincentric's banking system because it represents the best technological solution to meet our strategic goals," said George Keter, CEO of Saskatoon Credit Union.

Fincentric offers a cost-effective front-to-back office banking system for financial institutions with comprehensive applications for deposits, payments, and consumer lending, and integration across multiple delivery channels, including Internet and telephone banking via interactive voice response (IVR). An online transaction-processing (OLTP) engine, designed for high performance and high availability, completes the retail core processing system.

"Saskatoon Credit Union could have only achieved its status as one of Canada's top 25 credit unions by providing outstanding member services," said Mike Cardiff, president and CEO of Fincentric. We're pleased they've selected Fincentric to continue on this tradition. From a technical standpoint, they are in good company as half of the top 20 Canadian Credit Unions have chosen Fincentric to optimize their core banking operations."
