Move Allows for New Sales Opportunities for Credit Unions and Financial Institutions

AUSTIN, Texas – May 30, 2008 – Teres Solutions™, Building upon a successful three year strategic partnership, Teres Solutions™, Inc., a leading provider of direct and indirect lending software to credit unions and financial institutions, and SWBC announced they have expanded their relationship to include integration of Teres Solutions SAIL™ software with the Unity® insurance placement platform from SWBC. The Unity software enables loan officers to easily offer different types of insurance programs, including Extended Warranties, Major Mechanical Protection, Guaranteed Asset Protection, and Payment Protection. The integration with Unity software will make it possible for customers to automatically secure insurance quotes and placements directly within SAIL software during the loan application process.


“Providing access to insurance placement is becoming a key part of the value credit unions and financial institutions can add to their loan offerings,” said Mark Hein, CEO of the Credit Union Division of SWBC. “Our expanded partnership with Teres Solutions is making the cross-selling of insurance and loans easier so that our customers can expand their businesses.”


SWBC and Teres Solutions have jointly sold and marketed their respective products and services for the past three years. The integration of SAIL software with Unity software will further expand upon the types of services credit union and financial services organizations can provide to their customers and members.


“The business opportunities insurance provides to the loan origination business is helping credit unions and financial institutions grow in ways never possible before,” said Tim Kelly, CEO of Teres Solutions. “Our relationship with SWBC helps these organizations more easily tap into this growing market so they can foster stronger and long-lasting relationships with customers and members.”

The integration of SAIL software and SWBC Unity will be available in July. For additional information on the integration, visit www.TeresSolutions.com
