4/29/2009

OKLAHOMA CITY, April 27, 2009 – Endpoint Exchange today announced that Southwest Corporate Federal Credit Union (Southwest Corporate) has deployed Endpoint Exchange’s cost-efficient and low impact implementation service for check image exchange. Endpoint Exchange is a leading national check image exchange provider and a Metavante (NYSE:MV) company, which provides banking and payments technology.

Connected to the Endpoint Exchange network since 2004, Southwest Corporate now uses X9 Express Direct, a secure Web portal that facilitates check image exchange and file transfer. The solution allows Southwest Corporate to send and receive electronic packages of individual check images, known as commingled image cash letters, directly through Endpoint Exchange.

“Endpoint Exchange helps Southwest Corporate best address the needs of small and mid-sized institutions, as we are currently providing check imaging services 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.”

“Every business day, financial institutions need an easy, reliable and affordable way to exchange check images with thousands of other financial institutions around the country. Our X9 Express Direct connects Southwest Corporate to the exchange through a cost-efficient, secure Web portal, one of the many remote options available through the service,” said Paul Danola, president, Metavante Image Solutions. “By facilitating streamlined, electronic check image exchange through a single connection, Endpoint Exchange supports institutions like Southwest Corporate in enabling its member credit unions to be as forward thinking, data secure and technology driven as the country’s largest financial institutions.”
