BB&T Selects Carreker’s Adjustments/Express™ to Image-Enable Back Office

Automating the adjustments process with Carreker’s solution allows BB&T to reduce costs by up to 40 percent

DALLAS, TEXAS (April 28, 2005) — Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider of technology and consulting solutions for the financial industry, announced today that BB&T Corporation (NYSE:BBT), the ninth largest bank holding company in the U.S., has licensed Carreker’s Adjustments/Express™ to image-enable the bank’s back office and reduce adjustments costs by up to 40 percent.

Adjustments/Express™ is an image-based, workflow enabled system that automates the entire back-office adjustments process. It allows operators to scan information into the system, retrieve both image and microfilm items, and make entries from all of the main sources of adjustments cases, delivering a virtually paperless, seamless environment. As a result, the bank can improve productivity, optimize workloads, reduce errors, reduce float and other costs, speed case resolution and improve customer service.

“The adjustments process is increasingly complex and costly for banks, thanks to a variety of factors including increased volume and number of capture sites, more payment types, and higher customer expectations,” said John Carreker, president of Global Payments Technology for Carreker. “By automating the adjustments process, Adjustments Express allows BB&T to meet high customer expectations by efficiently managing fluctuating volumes in multiple payment environments – paper, image, or electronic.”

“BB&T has established itself as one of the clear leaders in the transformation from paper to imaged payments,” said J.D. (Denny) Carreker, chairman and CEO, Carreker. “Their selection of Carreker’s Adjustments Express marks another important commitment toward fully image-enabling their payments processing.”
