Carreker Corporation Press Release - June 3, 2002

Carreker Grants Enterprise License for Archive Software to Viewpointe

Momentum Building for Image Based Solutions

DALLAS (June 3, 2002) — Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI) announced today it granted an enterprise license agreement for Carreker’s image archive technology to Viewpointe Archive Services, L.L.C., the image archive company used by Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., U.S. Bancorp, SunTrust, Zions Bancorporation, HSBC Bank USA and First Tennessee Bank.

Under the agreement, Viewpointe purchased an enterprise license for the four applications that comprise Carreker’s image archive technology, in addition to ongoing annual maintenance of the software. The deal amounts to a multi-million dollar licensing agreement during the quarter, as well as an increase in the Company’s maintenance revenue.

John Lettko, Chairman and CEO of Viewpointe Archive Services, noted, “Carreker’s software has been a part of Viewpointe’s positive growth strategy and this new agreement will provide flexibility and savings as we continue to grow.”

Said Carreker’s Chairman and CEO J. D. (Denny) Carreker, “We are highly supportive of this momentum that makes it easier for banks to participate in the gathering trend toward payment electronification – converting paper payments to digitized information.”

Joe M. Rowell, President of Carreker’s Global Technology Solutions, pointed out that Carreker’s image archive technology already dominates the industry. Besides Viewpointe, with 40 percent of U.S. check volumes under contract, Carreker’s technology is also used by Symcor, the Canadian processor founded by three of Canada’s largest banks, and the Federal Reserve System, which handles about one-third of U.S. check volumes, typically derived from smaller banks.
