Corporation Press Release - November

ALLIED
IRISH BANKS, p.l.c. CHOOSES CARREKER’S
FRAUDLINK SOLUTIONS TO PREVENT
CHECK FRAUD
DALLAS (November 21, 2002) — Carreker
Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI ), a leading
provider of technology and consulting
solutions for the financial industry,
announced today that Allied Irish
Banks, p.l.c. (AIB), Ireland’s
leading financial institution, has
selected Carreker’s FraudLink™ solutions
to detect and prevent fraudulent
check activity.
Edel McDermott, group fraud manager
at Allied Irish Banks, p.l.c., said, “Embedded
deep within the culture of AIB is
our commitment to protect customers’ assets,
as well as the integrity of our organization.
Carreker’s FraudLink allows
us to deter check fraud by quickly
and consistently identifying suspect
items and delivering our customers
the highest standards of security
and service.”
Already installed at 90 of the leading
banks in Ireland, U.K., Australia,
South Africa, U.S. and Canada, Carreker’s
FraudLink suite enables banks to
expand their fraud mitigation capabilities
for teller stations, the back office,
and deposited items. It uses advanced
check-writing and deposit behavior
analytics to identify potentially
fraudulent check transactions. It
also helps improve risk management
costs by allowing banks to better
allocate resources to prioritized
items and streamline the investigation
process.
John Carreker, executive vice president
and managing director of Carreker’s
international operations, said, “Although
paper check volumes are leveling
off in today’s payments environment,
they are still extremely vulnerable
to a variety of fraud and can pose
a significant financial threat in
terms of lost revenue. The new Basel
II Capital Accord will increase financial
institutions' focus on operational
risk, especially in the key areas
of people, processes and technology.”
“Approximately 90 percent
of checks in Australia are inspected
by Carreker’s fraud mitigation
technology, and these solutions are
quickly gaining market share within
other international markets,” said
J. D. (Denny) Carreker, chairman
and CEO of Carreker Corporation. “Now,
with three of the major banking institutions
in Ireland using FraudLink, our risk
solutions will also scrutinize 75
percent of Ireland’s checks.”
