DALLAS, June 7, 2000 – Sumx Inc., an in-house electronic banking solutions provider, announced that TrustBank, a $125 million asset bank based in Olney, Ill., has licensed and successfully implemented SumxNet, Sumx’ customizable in-house Internet banking system, to offer Internet banking services to its online customers. Sumx announced the implementation at the FutureBank* community banking products and services expo in Dallas.

SumxNet enables TrustBank customers to view cleared checks, pay monthly bills, reorder checks, make stop payment requests, view account details and running balances, transfer money between accounts, and download transactions to financial management software over the Internet.

TrustBank is utilizing SumxNet to offer its customers two unique online banking features, Account Watchdogs and Personal Accountant. Account Watchdogs electronically monitor customers’ account balances and can be preset to notify customers when a certain check clears or if balances fall below or rise above a specified amount. Personal Accountant enables customers to organize their finances by tracking income and expense totals directly through an online account.
"SumxNet was a perfect fit for TrustBank because it is designed to operate well with our Phoenix International core accounting system," said Janice Ellis, vice president and COO of TrustBank. "In addition, we wanted to provide innovative features like Account Watchdogs and Personal Accountant, as well as check imaging, to our online customers, which Sumx’ system enables us to do. Also important is that Sumx understands what we are trying to accomplish at TrustBank. I believe that both TrustBank and Sumx share a common vision of utilizing technology to improve banking services, and that our shared commitment will bring success."

"Each of our bank customers has individual needs and preferences in the design and functionality of their online banking systems and TrustBank was no different," said Bazile Lanneau, Jr., President and CEO of Sumx. "There were specific features and details that TrustBank wanted for their online customers and SumxNet enabled them to offer those. TrustBank is dedicated to the use of innovative technology to provide excellent service to their customers and that is reflected in their online banking services."
