BROOKFIELD, Wisconsin, October 1 /PRNewswire/ --     NetEconomy, a business unit of Fiserv, Inc. (NASDAQ: FISV), and the 
global leader in financial crime management and compliance solutions, 
announced today that Espirito Santo Bank has selected its comprehensive, 
anti-money laundering solution, ERASE Compliance Manager. Adding this 
solution will help Espirito Santo Bank to comply with regulatory 
requirements and to detect, analyze and report potential money laundering 
and terrorist financing activity.

Owned by Banco Espírito Santo (BES), the second largest bank in Portugal
with more than US$75 billion in total assets and ranked as one of the top ten
banks in all of continental Europe, Espirito Santo Bank is a non-member,
state-chartered bank located in Miami, Fla. with mainly foreign nationals as
customers, due to its close proximity to Latin America and the Caribbean. By
adding the ERASE Compliance Manager, Espirito Santo Bank will be able to
monitor transactions to automatically detect suspicious activity, and
leverage user-friendly investigation tools and a built-in case management
system that tracks, prioritizes and manages cases, and automates reporting
for SARs and CTRs.

"Given the location and clientele of our financial institution, it was
critical for Espirito Santo Bank to select a robust and comprehensive
solution that would significantly reduce our risk profile," said Martin
Prego, senior vice president and head of compliance of Espirito Santo Bank.
"We selected NetEconomy because it offered the smartest solution with a full
range of cutting-edge capabilities that would improve the quality and
effectiveness of our compliance operations. And because the system is so
flexible, we won't need to add new staff over time as new regulations become
increasingly more stringent."

Prego added, "With NetEconomy's solution we can help our bank expand into
lines of business considered 'High Risk,' such as foreign correspondent
banking and money service businesses, that without NetEconomy, we would be
too at-risk to provide. We are extremely pleased with the choice of
NetEconomy and look forward to the added value across multiple fronts that
the solution will provide to our financial institution."

"As a financial institution serving foreign nationals operating across
Latin America and the Caribbean, Espirito Santo Bank required a solution that
would minimize risk while at the same time improve compliance processes and
maximize resources," said Andrew Davies, general manager and sales director
of the Americas, of NetEconomy. "We are very pleased to help Espirito Santo
Bank address these complex challenges to safeguard their firm and improve
compliance operations."
