DUBAI, United Arab Emirates and LONDON, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Postilion, a leading global provider of payments software solutions and a
division of S1 Corporation (Nasdaq: SONE), today announced that RAKBANK, the
National Bank of Ras Al-Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, has selected
Postilion solutions to drive the bank's ATM network. For RAKBANK, the
implementation of Postilion for ATM Owners and Deployers will bring
operational improvements and help the bank deploy new ATM services faster and
more efficiently.

RAKBANK chose Postilion to improve the bank's competitive differentiation in
the UAE. The Postilion solution for ATM owners and deployers will replace the
bank's existing ATM solution, providing real-time monitoring and a holistic
view of all payment transactions on the ATM channel. Postilion's proven
reliability and flexibility will allow RAKBANK to enhance system availability
and will facilitate the introduction of additional banking services more
quickly to satisfy new business demands. 

Postilion's PA-DSS validated payments platform is regularly updated to address
the latest data security standards. By choosing Postilion to be at the centre
of its ATM network, RAKBANK will be able to more easily maintain compliance
with payment card industry security regulations. Postilion's back-office
application will provide automated reconciliation with the UAE's national EFT
switch and provide consolidated reports on payments processing activity and
performance to support RAKBANK's IT management decision-making. 

"More and more banks and processors in the Middle East are relying on
Postilion as we provide regional specialization and support coupled with
international expertise and world-class payments software," said Francois van
Schoor, President of Postilion Payments. "We look forward to supporting
RAKBANK in their drive for exceptional customer service and operational
excellence."
