Business Editors

BATON ROUGE, La.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2002

APPRO Systems, Inc., the leading provider of automated credit risk management and financial technologies for the lending industry, today announced that Kansas City, Mo.-based, CommunityAmerica Credit Union (CACU) has chosen to process its member loan credit decisions through APPRO's LoanCenter for Consumer(TM) solution.

The system is set to go live in June 2002.

"LoanCenter enables us to process our member loans quickly and easily in a Windows(R)-based application. This will be a big difference compared to the `green screen' environment we are currently utilizing," said Rick Schier, director, Sales and Service at CommunityAmerica Credit Union. "The ASP option gives us the support we need without depleting our own IS and IT resources. It also ties in the applications we receive through various channels. Thus, the process and the decisioning is the same whether the application comes in through the branch, over the phone or from the Web."

In addition, LoanCenter successfully interfaces with Fiserv's core processor, Summit. The interface is important as it enables CACU to enter data only once when a loan application is submitted, thereby reducing the cost and time involved in processing member loan applications.

"APPRO's ability to interface with our core processor made this system stand out in our eyes," added Schier. "The system is also able to interface with our CUNA loan documents, which helps us with compliance issues as well as saving our institution additional time and money."

"Our credit union customers look to us for strategies to help them increase their overall level of service to their members while decreasing the resources required to provide that level of service," said Steve Uffman, chairman and CEO of APPRO Systems. "Through the implementation of LoanCenter and the successful implementation of the system with its core processing system, CommunityAmerica Credit Union has positioned itself to do just that."
