NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 10, 2000

Banklink, a unit of Fiserv, Inc. (Nasdaq: FISV) and a leading provider of treasury management products and services, announced today that 1st Mariner Bank has chosen WebLink(TM) to be its new Internet cash management offering to corporate customers, and Banklink SERIES 2000(TM) to be its new Windows(R)-based cash management offering.

WebLink is a modular cash management solution that enables financial institutions to deliver information and services to their corporate customers via the Internet. Using standard browsers, WebLink customers can check balances, send ACH transactions, initiate internal funds and wire transfers, request stop payments and send e-mail messages to the bank.

Banklink SERIES 2000 is an innovative cash management solution for use with the Windows operating system and is supported by a full range of services. Corporate customers not only receive their latest financial information; they also have the tools to manipulate and analyze that data for better business decision-making. When combined with product building, private branding and corporate customer support capabilities, Banklink SERIES 2000 becomes a fully customizable electronic cash management system that any financial institution can offer its corporate customers, no matter what the size or focus of the company.

"We are delighted to offer these top-notch business banking services," said Cathy Berthney, Vice President of 1st Mariner Bank. "Our users are currently on a DOS-based system and we are experiencing a lot of demand for Windows-based products. At the same time, we want to offer our Web-savvy customers a solution to meet their needs. The combination of Banklink services will make it easy to convert our DOS customers to Windows and to the Web when they are ready," said Berthney.

"I think the products will sell themselves," continued Berthney. "What impresses me as much as the products is the high levels of security, service and experience that Banklink offers to support their products. They are really in sync with 1st Mariner Bank's commitment to providing superior customer service."
