Digital Insight Expands Availability of FinanceWorks
CALABASAS, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Eighty percent of Americans say their bank or credit union`s online channel is
the best place to manage their finances. But only 27 percent of Americans do
that. And typically, they`ll say that`s because the banks and credit unions
don`t offer an easy-to-use solution. But things are beginning to change. 

More than 400 financial institutions have turned to Digital Insight, the
financial institutions division of Intuit Inc (Nasdaq:INTU), to help them
provide a better online financial management experience over the past year. And,
now even more banks and credit unions can do the same. 

FinanceWorks, Digital Insight`s online financial management solution, is now
available to banks and credit unions that don`t use Digital Insight`s Internet
banking platform. 

"Consumers and businesses are looking for help, and financial institutions have
an unprecedented opportunity to be the primary online destination that meets
their needs," said Sasan Goodarzi, president of Digital Insight. "Broadening the
availability of FinanceWorks will help more banks and credit unions provide the
online financial management capabilities that can position them for growth." 

Financial institutions offering FinanceWorks have already found that providing
online financial management capabilities can deliver tangible business benefits
to banks and credit unions. Data on early FinanceWorks users indicates they:

* Are up to four times more profitable than the average bank or credit union
customer. They have twice as many accounts, nearly 30 percent higher loan
balances, and tend to have higher incomes. 
* Log in to online banking twice as often as active online banking users, and
are more active online bill payers (61 percent vs. 41 percent of online
bankers). 
* Are so highly satisfied with the online financial management experience that
78 percent would recommend their financial institution based on the solution.

"Americans want to have greater control over their finances, and banking
customers will look elsewhere for the tools they need if their financial
institution doesn`t offer easy-to-use online financial management tools," said
Mark Schwanhausser, multichannel financial services analyst at Javelin Strategy
and Research. "No one is in a better position than banks and credit unions to
help customers securely monitor their finances, move their money - and become
the customer`s trusted financial advisor."
