Greenway Corporation: Over 100 Bank Customers Signed.

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 1998--

Strong fourth quarter helps company reach

and exceed sales milestone

Greenway Corporation announced today at the Independent Bankers Association of Texas (IBAT) Expo '98, the recent signing of its 100th customer for the company's Windows NT-based PrimeImage(TM) check imaging software. A strong fourth quarter, in which Greenway sold 13 systems, helped the company to reach this important milestone, and continued efforts have taken the company past this historic sales landmark.

Tee Green, director of sales and marketing for Greenway Corporation, said, "Obviously, we are pleased at how well our PrimeImage solution is being received in the marketplace. Reaching a landmark of 100 customers in just two years, we feel that this makes a statement about check imaging and the benefits being experienced by the financial institutions using it.

"Many experts are on our side touting check imaging, its cost savings and marketing applications," continued Green. "They mention these benefits but claim that smaller financial institutions will have to outsource. We believe that Greenway's success takes a different survey of the community banking landscape and reveals check imaging as a viable option for even the smallest financial institution, including de novos."

Green concluded, "As a second generation check imaging solution, PrimeImage is not only an accepted technology, it is replacing first generation check imaging systems from other vendors."

Dick Kilby, President of Merchants and Planters Bank of Raymond, Mississippi said of the $42 million financial institution's decision to purchase Greenway's check imaging solution, "For a bank of our size it was obviously a difficult decision. We did our due diligence, however, weighing all the pro's and con's and came to the conclusion that check imaging is clearly the tool of the future. We are a 92-year old bank that has chosen to stay somewhat small and focused on a very specific market. With larger financial institutions catering to our customers, however, we feel that if we do not offer our customers the benefits of more technology, we will face the inevitable loss of customers.

"Our customers will benefit from additional services such as nearly instantaneous check searches and the quicker, cleaner statements produced by a digitized system. Our commercial customers will find year-end reporting much easier with an entire year's transactions on one CD-ROM. The bank will also find benefits, as it will be able to redirect personnel away from older systems to more customer service functions.

"Basically, service is the name of the game. When all is said and done, we hope to be a little bank that offers as much 'good' service as any bank can and do it from a very small footprint," concluded Kilby.

Of these 100-plus signings, Greenway has successfully installed full Windows NT and image POD systems in 92 banks. The company's new customers signed during the fourth quarter of 1997 include: -0-
