Reliance Integrated Solutions LLC Wins Multi-Year Trust Operations Outsourcing Partnership with FREESTAR Bank, N.A. Wealth Management

ATLANTA--(Business Wire)--
Reliance announced today that its trust operations outsourcing subsidiary,
Reliance Integrated Solutions LLC (RIS), won a multi-year outsourcing
partnership with FREESTAR Bank, N.A. Wealth Management whereby RIS will provide
turn-key operations services including trust accounting, custody, cashiering and
client reporting.

"Our company has run operations and accounting in-house for many years," said
Dan Fry, head of wealth management at FREESTAR Bank, N.A. "We were looking to
gain efficiency while expanding the breadth of our offering and knew that we
could not hit our goals through our in-house model. Reliance is a truly unique
partner in the outsourcing business and they were able to deliver. We are now a
more focused, client-driven organization."

"Our outsourcing program is ideal for wealth managers like FREESTAR Bank who
wish to apply their in-house resources in other places," said Bryant Jones,
senior vice president and outsourcing business manager at RIS. "Once a client
makes the decision to strategically orient resources by outsourcing operational
functions, the flexibility of our program and culture empowers us to co-design a
program that is both powerful and flexible."
