Digital Insight Enters Exclusive Strategic Alliance with CashEdge for Online New Account Opening and Funding Solution

New offering to improve financial institutions' ability to acquire new customers online, increase deposit market share

Partnership supports Digital Insight's stated strategy of leveraging its unique distribution channel to create competitive advantage for middle market financial institutions

New York, NY - June 20, 2005 —Digital Insight Corp. (NASDAQ: DGIN) (www.digitalinsight.com), the leading online banking provider, announced today it has entered into a strategic alliance with CashEdge Inc. (www.cashedge.com), the leading provider of online financial applications, to become the exclusive distributor to small and mid-sized financial institutions for CashEdge's instant account opening and funding solution. The new addition to Digital Insight's robust consumer Internet Banking product portfolio, "New Account Open & Fund", enables consumers to apply for, gain approval of, and fund a new account in minutes via a financial institution's Web site. The exclusive partnership extends for a five-year term through 2010.

Digital Insight will offer New Account Open & Fund to small and mid-sized financial institutions at preferred partner pricing by leveraging the Company's extensive distribution and purchasing power. Under the terms of the partnership agreement, Digital Insight has pre-purchased a multi-year supply of New Account Open & Fund transactions from CashEdge for approximately $6.25 million. In connection with the terms of the agreement, CashEdge will also issue a warrant to Digital Insight to purchase shares of CashEdge stock on terms to be determined.

Online account opening and funding is an important feature for online banking application vendors to provide their client banks, according to George Tubin, senior analyst in the Delivery Channels practice at TowerGroup.

"Online banking usage can lead to deeper customer relationships and higher customer profitability. The ability to open and fund accounts online not only removes a significant barrier to use of the online channel, it provides a myriad of competitive advantages to financial institutions that offer the capability," said Tubin, who also notes that approximately 80 percent of the nation's Top 10 banks currently offer the service but small and mid-size institutions have yet to do so.

New Account Open & Fund improves financial institutions' ability to acquire new customers online and increase deposit market share, while potentially increasing close rates on new account applications and decreasing new deposit acquisition costs. The solution automates the process of verifying a new account applicant's identity, credit and OFAC information based on an institution's unique business rules to deliver an approval or denial in real-time. Once approved, the consumer can fund a new account via ACH transfers of funds from existing deposit accounts.

"CashEdge is excited to partner with Digital Insight for opening and funding new accounts because this partnership provides us more rapid and cost-effective distribution access to an important market segment," said CashEdge CEO Sanjeev Dheer. "We have been very successful in penetrating the large bank market, and Digital Insight has built the most important distribution channel serving small to mid-sized banks and credit unions."

"This partnership is extremely important to Digital Insight and a key step in implementing our strategy of using relationships to provide a growing array of mission-critical capabilities to our clients, without the risk and disruption that inevitably results from integrating and managing acquisitions," said Digital Insight Chairman, President and CEO Jeff Stiefler. "Since we are Cash Edge's exclusive distribution channel into the small and mid-sized market, our clients can benefit from a competitive advantage in the war to grow deposits and gain market share. This agreement has been structured to include all the elements of an ideal partnership: market-leading pricing on new product developments that benefit our clients, exclusive distribution rights to our target market, plus, as an added benefit to our investors, the ability to participate financially, through warrants, in the valuation increase we expect to help Cash Edge achieve."
