  JACKSONVILLE, FL, May 20 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Fidelity National Information Services, Inc. (FIS) today announced the launch
of its
new comprehensive two-way mobile banking and bill pay product suite, FIS Mobile
Banking and Bill Pay. The advanced product offering encompasses the three modes
of
mobile banking -- SMS/text, mobile Web and downloadable application solutions.
This
new, state of the art suite will address the varied needs of all clients and
allow financial institutions to target different segments of their client-base
with the most appropriate mobile banking solution.

    To provide the most advanced mobile banking and payments offering in the
market, FIS teamed with two leading mobile banking and payment providers,
ClairMail,
Inc. and mFoundry. The two providers had previously announced a partnership
and offer complementary, advanced mobile solutions, integrating ClairMail's
two-way mobile banking and payments platform and SMS/text and mobile Web
solutions
with mFoundry's downloadable Spotlight application. As a result of the combined
ClairMail-mFoundrysolution, FIS will have a single platform to implement, manage
and support for
its clients. Additionally, the ClairMail platform will allow "wake-up" of the
mFoundry application and its Event Engine will enable user-defined two-way
actionable
alerts.

    "In conjunction with mFoundry, ClairMail's complete mobile banking and
payments offering and revolutionary two-way alerting Event Engine now give FIS
customers the solution they need to appeal to the broad banking consumer base
and
drive adoption," said Joseph Salesky, chief executive officer of ClairMail.
"Whether a bank is looking to enter the mobile arena or strengthen an initial
pilot effort with a full-service mobile banking and payments offering, FIS can
now
provide that integrated solution."

    As a leading provider of core technology services in the financial industry,
FIS is
poised to offer a core-based mobile solution that will ensure consistency
between the mobile channel and core banking transaction data. The FIS Mobile
Banking
solution will be available as a managed service offering or an on-premise
implementation, allowing flexibility based on the financial institution's needs.
The
hosted platform will be interfaced with FIS solutions, including core,
internet banking, commercial cash management, bill pay, prepaid, debit and
credit
card.

    "The demand from financial institutions for a secure and comprehensive
mobile banking
and payments solution has risen dramatically over the past year," said Anthony
Jabbour, executive vice president for FIS Core Processing and eBanking. "When
deciding among mobile banking and payments solution providers, we selected
ClairMail given their unique, best-of-breed capabilities, including two-way
functionality across all three mobile user interfaces and their innovative
Event Engine. Our previously announced alliance with mFoundry for mobile banking
and payments via an advanced downloadable application rounds out the triple-mode
solution, which will provide all of our clients, regardless of size, with an
affordable,state-of-the-art mobile solution."

    "Core processing vendors are uniquely positioned to drive best-in-class
mobile banking
solutions because of the role they play as technology integrators and ecosystem
conductors," said Virginia Garcia, research director of TowerGroup. "FIS is
presently the only core processing vendor offering a mobile banking solution on
all three mobile user interface modes. TowerGroup believes that deploying a
multi-modal mobile banking solution is essential to serving the differentiated
needs of all consumer market segments in the highly fragmented mobile
marketplace."
