Business Editors

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 18, 2002

Business Bank of Nevada (OTCBB:BBNV) today announced that it has selected Fiserv, Inc. (Nasdaq:FISV), a leading information services provider for the financial industry worldwide, to be the Bank's new data processing company. After a lengthy search and due diligence process with several information services provider companies nationwide, the Bank chose Fiserv to handle its day-to-day account and item processing, proof capture, imaging technology and more.

According to Larry Charlton, executive vice president and chief financial/operations officer for Business Bank, this new vendor relationship with Fiserv will help the Bank process more information as the Bank grows and expands both its customer base and branch network.

"The fact that Fiserv also owns Information Technology, Inc., a computer software company the Bank was using with a previous vendor, was one of several other reasons why we decided to switch service bureau companies. Fiserv is a great fit for our company, and we look forward to developing a strong partnership with them as one of the premier information services provider companies in the country."

Fiserv currently services more than 240 million customer deposit, loan and lease accounts, which are processed annually at financial institutions around the world. The company's financial institution client base includes banks, credit unions, leasing companies, mortgage lenders and savings institutions. Fiserv is also one of the nation's largest non-bank processors of checks, automated teller machine (ATM) and point of sale (POS) transactions. Last year, Fiserv processed 4.9 billion checks and nearly 850 million electronic ATM/POS transactions.

"We are excited to have Business Bank as one of the newest members of the Fiserv family of clients," said Norm Balthasar, president and chief operating officer of the Fiserv Financial Institution Group. "We strive to meet and exceed the needs of our clients, whether they're looking for a data processing provider or wish to expand into new industries and new markets. We look forward to providing Business Bank with some of the tools and resources they need to further establish themselves as one of the premier financial institutions in Nevada."

In addition to transaction processing services, Fiserv also handles insurance services, securities processing services and trust services for insurance companies, broker-dealers and investment advisors, as well as third party pension administrators and individual investors.

"As our relationship with Fiserv grows and expands, our needs will become larger and require some of the more sophisticated resources Fiserv can bring to the table," Charlton said. "We are working rapidly with Fiserv to have all images of items processed available to our customers via the Internet. Statement images can be quickly brought into use as well, if we choose to go in that direction. Business Bank currently has imaging technology available internally for all processed items."
