Press Release

MINNEAPOLIS - June 26, 2008 - The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) announced today that it has expanded its Preferred Service Provider relationship with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. The relationship now includes Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ comprehensive suite of solutions and services that can help financial institutions meet all Red Flag Rules requirements tied to the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act).

Wolters Kluwer Financial Services launched the Red Flags Resource Center (www.WoltersKluwerFS.com/redflaginfo) in May, a Web site that offers financial institutions practical information, solutions and services to help build or update their identity theft prevention program and ensure compliance with the new requirements. The site’s content includes free access to articles, a blog and other information as well as additional tools available separately from Wolters Kluwer Financial Services that assist financial institutions with developing their Red Flags policies and procedures, train their employees and implement an automated Red Flags compliance solution.

“Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ ability to help banks implement a comprehensive Red Flag Rules compliance program is why ICBA chose to expand our Preferred Service Provider relationship with the company,” said Dan Clancy, senior vice president of Services for ICBA. “It is clear that community bankers will greatly benefit from a partner such as Wolters Kluwer Financial Services that can help them address all of the requirements.”

“Community bankers need to carefully evaluate the many solutions and services available that claim to help them meet all of the Red Flag Rules requirements,” said Todd Cooper, vice president and general manager of Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ Financial Intelligence Unit. “Many are good but will only help banks meet some of the requirements. Others are just old tools that have been remarketed and won’t be effective. But Wolters Kluwer Financial Services takes a different approach. We have assembled a suite of solutions and services that can be customized to a community banker’s individual needs to help them implement a complete Red Flag Rules program that will help them rest assured they are in compliance.”

In addition to Wolters Kluwer Financial Services’ Red Flag Rules solutions and services, ICBA’s Preferred Service Provider relationship with the company includes several of the company’s other solutions, including ARTA® Lending, ARTA Deposit, ComplianceOne™, CRA Wiz®, Fair Lending Wiz, HMDA Wiz, IRA Management Center®, Rembrandt® Lending, Wiz Sentinel, Wiz Sentri™: Case Officer and Wiz Sentri: Transaction Monitor, in addition to pre-printed and electronic documents for lending, deposit and IRA.
