Renewal agreement also includes relationship expansion making NYCE
                   M&I's primary ATM network in U.S.
SECAUCUS, N.J.--(Business Wire)--NYCE Payments Network today announced M&I Marshall & Ilsley Bank
has renewed its NYCE Network participation as part of a relationship
expansion. Going forward, NYCE will be the bank's exclusive provider
of retail PIN debit access(1) and the ATM network of choice for
domestic transactions. NYCE Payments Network, LLC, is a leading U.S.
debit card payments network and a division of Metavante (NYSE: MV), a
leading provider of banking and payments technology.

   M&I Bank, headquartered in Milwaukee, is the largest
Wisconsin-based bank and also has banking offices in Arizona, Florida,
Illinois, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Nevada. This diverse
geographical footprint translates into more than 966,000 cards and 485
ATMs participating in the NYCE Network.

   "Changing networks is not a decision made lightly. M&I has a long
history in debit card issuing and helped build the first EFT network
in Wisconsin. Yet the decision to concentrate our debit business with
NYCE was easy," said John Roberts, senior vice president, Marshall &
Ilsley Corporation. "Since joining NYCE in 2005, we quickly came to
understand the economic value that NYCE brings to the table. We
appreciate how highly NYCE is aligned with and supportive of our
strategies for electronic payments' growth, and with our desire to
provide our customers with ever-increasing convenience and a wide
range of high-quality products."

   "M&I's decision to rely on NYCE for PIN debit access delivers
critical mass in Wisconsin and the Midwest, plus an enhanced presence
in Florida and the Southwest where M&I has expanded into new markets,"
said Steve Rathgaber, NYCE president and chief operating officer.
"M&I's expanded relationship with NYCE is a clear validation of our
message that no matter where you're located, NYCE is an attractive,
valuable payments network provider."
