May 11, 2008

MILWAUKEE — Metavante, provider of banking and payments technology, has announced in a news release that Mountain First Bank and Trust expected to sign up for Metavante's Integrated Banking Solution core processing.

Hendersonville, N.C.-based Mountain First Bank and Trust ($600 million in assets) is a fast-growing de novo in the Southeast.

According to a news release, the bank has signed a long-term deal with Metavante for a suite of banking and payments products and services. The deal includes consumer and business electronic banking solutions, EFT and card, CRM, branch and merchant capture, and risk and compliance.

"Similar to how we strive to provide our customers with a superior â€˜Mountain First experience,' we were provided with a great â€˜Metavante experience' from start to finish," said Lee Beason, chief operating officer of Mountain First Bank and Trust. "Actions speak louder than words and Metavante proved that they believe in customer service as much as we do. We wanted a core provider like Metavante that's keeping pace with technological advancements, since many processors are using antiquated software programs and are not in tune with today's customer demands. Metavante is providing the tools, software and equipment to help us deliver service worth talking about."

Metavante will provide Mountain First Bank and Trust with the tools needed to better understand and communicate with its customers. Through the delivery of banking products from Metavante's Customer Information System and Enterprise Contact Management, the bank will be better equipped to effectively manage its relationships through the provision of a more complete view of its customers.
