OKLAHOMA CITY, April 27, 2009 – Endpoint Exchange today
announced that Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union (Southwest Corporate)

image exchange provider and a Metavante (NYSE:MV) company, which provides

through the network to 720 member credit unions,” said Bill Brennan, director of
site operations, Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union. “Processing with X9
Express Direct has resulted in significant productivity improvement of our image
exchange item and file management, balancing and reconcilement processes. The
service reduced our full time equivalency costs for this exchange by half—which
translates to lower costs for our member credit unions.”

affordable way to exchange check images with thousands of other financial
institutions around the country. Our X9 Express Direct connects Southwest
