AppOne Forms Strategic Alliance with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services; Provides Solution for Faster, More Efficient Auto Loan Application Process

BATON ROUGE, La.--March 23, 2006--AppOne, an Internet-based financial technology services provider that connects independent auto dealers with lenders, announced a strategic alliance with Wolters Kluwer Financial Services through its Bankers Systems brand.

As part of this alliance, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services provides loan documentation and forms for lenders using the AppOne loan application system. Independent auto dealers access these forms, which include retail installment contracts and other documents such as state DMV forms, using AppOne's online Web-based platform. These documents are state-specific and in compliance with federal and local regulations. They can also be conveniently printed from a desktop in laser format, eliminating the issues associated with conventional dot matrix and pin printers.

AppOne, using Bankers Systems documents, provides auto finance technology that helps eliminate many common challenges associated with loan documents such as the misalignment of text, typographical or human errors, state-specific late fee language and contract itemization errors. Additionally, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services backs its forms with a compliance warranty.

"We chose to align with AppOne because our services and products complement each other and make it easier for both lenders and dealers to conduct the loan booking process," said John Bryant, senior vice president of banking at Wolters Kluwer Financial Services. "The combined offering provides an enhanced level of customer service for dealers and a way to boost profitability for lenders."

"The alliance between Wolters Kluwer Financial Services and AppOne provides a solution to both lenders and independent auto dealers that helps to manage the burden of compliance," said Lee Domingue, CEO of AppOne. "Plus, using our one-click laser form printing capabilities saves dealers' time when completing the loan process, enabling them to focus more on selling cars."

In addition to SterlingWare, a comprehensive dealer management system, other elements of the AppOne platform include DealerOne, a dealer underwriting system and OriginateOne, a Web-based loan-application origination system. AppOne also supplies dealers with one point access to lenders, fee-based products, and consulting services and helps lenders market their financial services and products to independent automotive dealers nationwide.
