Avanta Federal Credit Union Automates Secure Safe Deposit Operations with SQN Banking Systems’ SENTRY: SafeTM

- -- Members save time with safe deposit management software -- -

RANCOCAS, N.J., Nov. 29, 2005 SQN Banking Systems, a leading provider of integrated fraud detection and process improvement products for the financial industry, announce the successful integration of SENTRY: Safe at Avanta Federal Credit Union. SENTRY: Safe efficiently manages all aspects of safe deposit operations, saving time and creating a more secure environment for financial institutions. Billings, Mont.-based Avanta Federal Credit Union, holding $92 million in assets at five branches, reports saving members more than 20 minutes per visit by automating their safe deposit operations.

“SENTRY: Safe has all of the features and reports that we wanted, and it is very simple to use,” said Bernie Neibauer, assistant vice president of Avanta Federal Credit Union. “Our members appreciate that they can get in and out of their safe deposit box in just a few minutes, rather than having to wait while the financial service representative retrieves their box card.”

SENTRY: Safe’s complete management of safe deposit operations increases productivity, customer service and security. By enabling the financial institution to generate reports regarding invoices, payments and current and potential income, the program saves hours of bank employees’ time. The software reduces risk and enhances customer service by displaying the box holder’s signature and photo ID to the branch personnel, speeding identity verification and making the customer feel more secure. SENTRY: Safe also keeps strict records of deposit box activity through visitor log and account status reports.

“Now, more than ever, a heightened level of security is needed in financial institutions,” said Joe Uhland, president of SQN Banking Systems. “Because thieves are using a variety of fraudulent methods to steal from financial institutions, we will continue to create ways of stopping them.”
