Fundtech Acquires Accountis – Entering the Electronic Invoice Presentment and Payment Business

JERSEY CITY, N.J.--Fundtech Ltd. (NASDAQ: FNDT), a market leader in global corporate banking solutions, today announced the acquisition of Accountis Ltd. of Bangor, Wales, a leading supplier of electronic invoice presentment and payment (EIPP) systems. Adding EIPP capabilities to Fundtech’s existing product lines of payments, cash management and settlements systems, expands its end-to-end corporate banking systems, and adds to the company’s capabilities in enabling the emerging financial supply chain.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Fundtech paid GBP 3.8 million in cash at closing and an additional amount of up to GBP 2.0 million in cash will be paid over the next three years based on the financial performance of Accountis. Accountis reported un-audited revenues of approximately GBP 1.0 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2007.

Accountis’ electronic financial document exchange and payment solutions automate the way companies interact with one another through their accounts payable and receivables departments. This significantly reduces the time and expense involved with processing, paying and reconciling invoices. The European Association of Corporate Treasurers has shown that e-invoicing is capable of saving corporations up to 80 percent by eliminating the paper invoice processing, printing and postage costs associated with traditional billing. In addition, suppliers are able to receive payments faster.

The Accountis system addresses many of the key barriers to adoption of EIPP systems among corporations:

• Corporations that are suppliers of goods and services are able to easily adopt the Accountis system.
• Accountis’ Enterprise Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable systems seamlessly integrate with existing accounting and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems.
• The system is highly secure, supporting digital signatures and operating over a secure network.
• Compliance with local tax regulations.
• Corporations can make and receive validated payments through UK bank accounts by means of the Bankers Automated Clearing System (BACS).

Accountis has an established customer base of well-known companies such as: DHL, Virgin Retail, Goodyear Dunlop, Marconi, T-Mobile, Warner Bros., ICICI Bank.

“The acquisition of Accountis is an important step in Fundtech's growth plan as we leverage new technology to expand our market leadership to encompass the Financial Supply Chain,” said Reuven Ben Menachem, CEO of Fundtech. “We welcome Accountis employees and clients into the Fundtech family and look forward to our mutual success.”

Rhys Jones, Founder and Managing Director of Accountis said, “We are pleased to become part of Fundtech’s global organization and join forces to significantly impact Financial Supply Chain automation. Fundtech’s global sales and support reach will help us capitalize on the early market momentum that Accountis has generated.”

Fundtech management will discuss the Accountis acquisition during its conference call to be held after the release of its Q4 2007 earnings on Tuesday, February 19, 2008 at 8:30 AM (EST). The conference call numbers are 1-866-800-8051 or 1-617-617-2704 (ask for the Fundtech call).
