Carreker Corporation Announces Fraud Prevention Contract With Australia And New Zealand Banking Group, Ltd.

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 14 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -- Carreker Corporation (Nasdaq: CANI), a leading provider of e-finance enabling solutions to the financial industry, announced today further expansion of its fraud prevention technology in the Southern Pacific region through a contract with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (ANZ). ANZ, with total assets of $172 billion (AUD), is one of the world's 100 largest banks.

Carreker will install its FraudLink On-Us(TM), FraudLink Deposit(TM), and FraudLink Kite(TM) software to monitor potential fraudulent activity across all cheque transactions within the bank's operations. This contract represents the first entry of Carreker technology into New Zealand and another expansion of the company's technology in Australia. With this engagement, Carreker solutions will monitor more than 80 percent of the Australian banking industry's depository accounts against fraud. The Australian Institute of Criminology estimates the cost of fraud and misappropriation is between $3 billion and $3.5 billion (AUD) per year in Australia.

Carreker's FraudLink On-us(TM) is a mainframe-based fraud detection platform designed to assist banks in reducing cheque fraud losses by detecting counterfeit and forged cheques either at the branch counter or in the back office. FraudLink Deposit(TM) is an advanced software solution that allows banks to detect potentially fraudulent deposit transactions by using bank-set parameters to identify criminal trends and comparing the information with account holders' established deposit history. FraudLink Kite(TM) is an historical, behaviour-based application designed to identify and report suspected kiting/cross-firing cases for investigation.

J.D. "Denny" Carreker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Carreker, said the contract is another significant achievement in the company's global e-finance strategy and supports the company's efforts to expand development in the region.

"ANZ has a strong commitment to protecting its customers and reducing its exposure to fraudulent activity. We are extremely pleased that ANZ has selected Carreker solutions to mitigate fraudulent activity in their business.

This is further recognition of our success in developing effective risk management solutions for our clients in the region and around the world. We look forward to our expanded relationship with ANZ," Carreker said.

Mike Israel, Carreker Sales and Business Development Director for Australia and Asia, said, "Carreker combines extensive expert knowledge with cutting-edge software to develop an integrated fraud mitigation solution. We will work with the bank to make sure the most effective solution is implemented for ANZ. As every bank worldwide will differ by region and market, Carreker will work with ANZ to assure that the implementation of the software will mitigate the 'specific' cheque fraud schemes that ANZ might experience," Israel said.

ANZ offers financial products and services in Australia and New Zealand and has overseas representation predominantly in greater Asia. ANZ provides a full range of banking services including residential and investment mortgage lending, deposit taking, credit cards, electronic banking including Internet Banking, overdrafts, term loans, trade finance, commercial bill acceptances and treasury services.
