(DALLAS, February 10, 2000) – Dallas-based
Carreker-Antinori, Inc. (NASDAQ:
CANI), a leading provider of integrated
consulting and software solutions
to the financial industry, today
announced a five-year agreement with
the Small Value Payments Company,
L.L.C. (SVPCo). Under this agreement,
Carreker-Antinori will provide SVPCo
with product and technology services
in support of SVPCo’s purchase
of assets from the Payment Solutions
Network, Inc. (PSN).
"Carreker-Antinori established PSN
with the intention of furthering
key industry initiatives of electronic
check presentment (ECP), fraud mitigation
and electronic check return notification," says
J.D. "Denny" Carreker, chairman and
chief executive officer, Carreker-Antinori. "Carreker-Antinori
has served as a steadfast advocate
of check electronification and ECP
technology within the financial community.
ECP is a ‘first step’ in
migrating from a paper-based to an
electronic payment system. By leveraging
their existing payment and settlement
roles, their awareness of customers’ ability
to pay, and their technical core
competencies, banks are well positioned
to extend their commercial role as
electronic commerce expands."
Since PSN’s formation in 1993,
Carreker-Antinori has provided the
administrative, staffing and technical
support necessary to operate and
manage the not-for-profit organization.
As a result of the recently announced
asset purchase from PSN by SVPCo,
Carreker-Antinori will provide SVPCo
with similar services as they relate
to sales, marketing, customer service,
installation and technical support.
Catherine A. Allen, chief executive
officer of BITS, the technology group
for the Financial Services Roundtable,
comments that Carreker-Antinori has
continually demonstrated its leadership
in support of industry-wide advancement
in ECP. "Carreker-Antinori’s
continued involvement, following
the asset purchase by SVPCo, will
ensure continuity of quality service
and the leveraging of existing, experienced
personnel. SVPCo’s customer
base and industry focus, combined
with Carreker-Antinori’s technology
and support services, facilitates
a quick migration to electronics."
