Banc Internet Group Renamed to Goldleaf Technologies,
Adds David Peterson to Executive Staff

Brentwood, TN (8/10/01) Banc Internet Group (BIG) announces that, following the purchase of all ACH- and Server/Client - Server/Client - GOLDNET-related products, services, and assets from Certegy E-Banking Services, it has decided to rename the company to Goldleaf Technologies, Inc. This decision revives the Goldleaf name, still recognized as the leader in ACH products and service to the independent banking marketplace. Effective immediately, all 1,400 software and Internet services customers will receive services, maintenance, and support from Goldleaf. "The more we talked with financial institutions and industry stakeholders, the more the name Goldleaf came up as a positively recognized brand," states Paul McCulloch, CEO of Goldleaf Technologies, Inc. "Our company has become so much more than just banking and the Internet, we feel that Goldleaf Technologies would be more appropriate than Banc Internet Group to match our future opportunities."

Originally founded in 1990 by David L. Peterson, Goldleaf Technologies quickly made a mark as a provider of excellent software and superior customer service. In 1997, Goldleaf was sold to Equifax and later became Equifax E-Banking Solutions. When the ACH and Server/Client - Server/Client - GOLDNET assets were acquired in July, the Goldleaf name was one of the assets, and Banc Internet Group decided to get an immediate return on its investment by renaming the company. The new Goldleaf Technologies will have offices in Brentwood, Tennessee, and Hahira, Georgia, and satellite offices in Chicago, Illinois, Lake Mary, Florida, and Alpharetta, Georgia.

In a related move, David L. Peterson has accepted a senior management position with the new Goldleaf and has joined as Executive Vice President. Peterson will transition all of the products, services, employees, and customers into the new organization and focus on software and business development. "I am very excited about returning to my roots providing software for the independent financial institution market," exclaimed Peterson. "I look forward to working together with the rest of the Goldleaf team to make the new Goldleaf even stronger and more successful than the original Goldleaf."
