Princeton TeleCom to Provide Key Electronic BillerLinks and Data Processing Functions for MSFDC.

PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 1998--Billers using the MSFDC Internet-based system for bill presentment and payment services will make use of Princeton TeleCom Corporation's Presentment Server(TM) and value added electronic clearing technologies. MSFDC's system provides Internet bill

presentment and payment services to banks and consumers. Princeton TeleCom was selected as a key participant to play a major role in MSFDC's newly formed Systems Integrator Program. The Systems Integrator Program follows the announcement of MSFDC's pilot program for financial institutions and billers, which is being initiated with three leading banks and a number of nationally recognized billers.

Princeton TeleCom has established long-standing relationships with over 700 of the nation's leading billers, which for years have used Princeton TeleCom's els Electronic Lockbox Service(TM). This places Princeton TeleCom in a key position to lead the automated billing and payment revolution.

When MSFDC's Internet bill payment service is more widely introduced later this year, customers of billers will be able to see customized utility, banking and other bills via an electronic format on a home computer screen.

The goal of the MSFDC Systems Integrator Program is to provide billers, financial institutions and processors with an extensive pool of professional technology companies to help them quickly and efficiently implement the MSFDC electronic bill presentment and payment system. Systems Integrators are expected to offer a variety of products and services including consulting, development, integration, Web-based design, support and ongoing maintenance.

"MSFDC wants to offer both banks and billers maximum flexibility in customizing our electronic bill presentment and payment system," said Richard Pickering, senior vice president at MSFDC. "To satisfy their varying needs, we've built a team of heavy hitters in systems integration and solution implementation. So, whether a bank or biller wants vertical industry expertise or specific systems or applications expertise, we have the solution providers to help them."

"With the help of companies like Princeton TeleCom, MSFDC will take electronic bill presentment and payment beyond its infancy stage to large-scale acceptance and usage," said Warren Dent, senior vice president at MSFDC. "Princeton TeleCom provides a valuable service by helping billers prepare their data from various platforms and integrate it with MSFDC's technology."

MSFDC's bill payment and presentment system will translate accounts receivable data from a biller's computer system, make them presentable to consumers through the Internet, and allow for electronic payment of the bill in full or partial amount on the date specified by the consumer. By supporting MSFDC, Princeton TeleCom will be a key component of the success of electronic consumer billing and payment.
