Philippine Farmers Bank Turns to Misys to Underpin its Consumer Lending Business


LONDON, January 7 /PRNewswire/ --     Misys plc (LSE: MSY), the global application software and services
company, today announces that Philippine Farmers Bank has chosen Misys to
strengthen its lending business and increase its ability to respond to and
service its customers throughout the country.

Philippine Farmers Bank is a rural bank that provides retail banking
services in the Philippines, including traditional deposit, loan products and
cash management. Having established itself as the leading bank for both
consumers and small and medium-sized businesses to have access to these
services in one place, it is now focused on growing its business further and
keeping ahead of the competition.

Philippines Farmers Bank selected Misys from among the several vendors
offering a core banking solution. The bank was looking for a trusted partner
with both the knowledge and the experience to help it to achieve its goals
without impacting the high level of customer satisfaction the bank had built
in its business.

"We turned to Misys because of its track record in the region and its
ability to support banks growing their business," stated Ronaldo C. Alaya-ay,
Managing Director, Philippine Farmers Bank. "The team of experts from Misys
moved extremely rapidly to come to our assistance and it was an easy decision
to take their solution. We look forward to working with Misys as it helps us
maintain our high standards of innovation and customer excellence."

One of the crucial elements in choosing Misys' solution was the
capability to support the bank's officers in all provinces around the
country, both within and outside its branches, who need to use laptops from
which to complete loan transactions with their customers. With a series of
very successful proofs of concept and demonstrations, the bank's management
team was completely comfortable with Misys' capabilities and selected the
company to provide their solution.

Graeme Beardsell, Regional Director Asia Pacific, Misys, added, "We are
delighted to be able to come to the aid of such an important bank in the
Philippines market. The flexibility and the advanced functionality of our
solution, coupled with the 'can-do' attitude and knowledge of our consultants
proved we were the best company to partner with. We look forward to providing
the bank with a platform on which to expand its business, keep delivering
innovative products to its customers, whilst continually ensuring costs are
kept to a minimum."
