LAKE MARY, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 18, 2004

Fiserv, Inc. (Nasdaq: FISV) today announced that Community Credit Union (CCU), a $1.7 billion organization with 220,000 members serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, has selected Fiserv CBS Worldwide as its core processing partner.

The decision to change was based on the superior business services functionality available in the Comprehensive Banking System (CBS), according to CCU Chief Executive Officer Gary Base.

"In an effort to meet the demands of our marketplace, we knew we had to change from our present system to one that offers more business-related functionality," Base said.

The dependence on third-party systems and the absence of many business offerings within credit union vendors necessitated taking the innovative approach of considering vendors outside the traditional credit union market, Base said.

"The credit union vendors could not supply us with a system that fit our needs so we expanded our search to include vendors that serviced banks as well as credit unions," Base said. "We realized that CBS offered the most comprehensive core and banking system. Our ability to partner seamlessly with other Fiserv systems was an important aspect of that decision."

Community Credit Union also will enhance its substantial image offering by licensing Nautilus, from Fiserv's Imagesoft Technologies unit, as its archive. In addition, CCU will use a variety of additional solutions from Fiserv, including the easyLENDER loan origination system.

Greg Green, Chief Operating Officer of Fiserv CBS Worldwide, said CCU's selection of Fiserv demonstrates CBS Worldwide's commitment to serving all financial institutions with more than $1 billion in assets.

"The environment for all financial institutions is changing very quickly and CCU has proven to be exceptionally progressive," Green said. "We believe many more organizations like CCU will be looking outside the traditional credit union space when looking for technology solutions. At Fiserv CBS Worldwide, we are proud that an organization like CCU, which is widely regarded as one of the most forward-thinking credit unions in the country, has chosen the CBS solution."

However, for CCU, the decision was not simply one of technology.

"CBS, and Fiserv as a whole, is an outstanding organization," Base said. "We know that the quality of the people backing up the system is just as important as the quality of the technology."
